67 RS Oil Gauge and Warning Light

[aus67rs]

Hi, restoring a 67 RS convertible with console and gauges.  The dash cluster has the  the "OIL" warning light and the new wiring harness seems to have a connector for a pressure sensor on the engine. Were both the gauge and warning light active on these cars originally?  If so, could someone either describe or post a photo of the sender unit on the engine please? Thanks.

My understanding is either the engine had an oil pressure sending unit and an idiot light in the dash cluster, or it had an oil line fed through the firewall and mounted to the back of a gauge. In this case the sending unit was removed and a fitting installed in the block to accept a compression fitting.

Thanks, I'll run with that.
