'85 w/ '90-92 harness oil pressure switch question
I'm in the process of swapping out my engine & ecm on my 1985 Camaro, I changed over to the MAP-style ECM/wiring harness and I have a question.
When I removed the old engine, the place where the oil pressure switch was installed was kind of a disaster - they had multiple adapters and tees with at least two different sensors running off of it. I assume one was for the fuel pump and the other for the gauge.
The new wiring harness came with instructions that called out a very detailed oil pressure switch (ECH OP6660), which I got from Napa. However, on the Napa website it lists this part twice - once it says "fuel pump pressure switch" and for the other one it says "oil pressure light switch".
So...is this the only switch I need? Or am I going to need a second one for my gauge? Not sure if it matters but I'm going to be installing an AutoMeter oil pressure gauge once the engine is in.

Autometer may require it's own special sender unit, check first

Re: '85 w/ '90-92 harness oil pressure switch question
Thank you for the response, but I'm still confused. How do I know if the one I have runs a light or gauge? The GM cross-reference is 25037045. If it runs the gauge, I won't need a second one, right? Unless AutoMeter says they need a specific sending unit (which I don't think the meter I have does, if my memory serves me correctly).
