    dont know what that is at the dist but the fuel pump- oil perss. switch should be the same. ground the wire and see if you gauge in the truck goes all the way over. if it does thats the right wire and your gauge in the truck is ok to.

    if its missing and we can find out the color of the wire, he can either put a manul. gauge on it or pull the speedometer out of the truck and run a wire from the wiring harness( oil pressure gauge in the dash) out to the sending unite on the motor. the ground will take care of it self.

    i'm looking at your diagram now and there almost has to be two of them. the only one i can find i this diagram is coming off the D terminal on the fuel pump relay connects the circut at the switch and then goes to the B terminal on the relay.
