Re: oil pressure switch

bwd makes good replacement parts, never really saw any returns on them when i was working for other parts places. however the stock gauges can go bad too, wouldn't completely count that out. otherwise, i've had good luck with the factory ac delco sensors, but you will probably pay a bit of a premium on the price

Yup Echlin used to be made in a town less than 20mins from me. They made lots of other stuff too. (suspension and brake parts)

Re: oil pressure switch

Just make sure you gety the right one - some places want to sell you a 2 prong or a 1 prong OPSU, but you have a 3 prong OPSU on a 1992 car (assuming it's still the stock OPSU).
