Default Low pressure/switch

On my 75 the air conditioner system has an low pressure cut off switch located close to the radiator overflow container.

Tan/drk green wires going to it. I think the way it was the tan wire came from the firewall harness to the switch, the dark green then went to the compressor.

Question ? is this switch a simple on/off, which terminals get the which wire, the switch has no id marks

I have the drk/green wire ( closest to the fender ) going from the switch to the compressor.

Doing clean up of the wiring after heater core replacement.

Also looking for the black wrap gm uses for the wire harnesses, electrical tape has to much shine, need something with a more flat finish.

Thanks

assuming you mean low pressure cutoff switch, it shouldnt matter unless you are doing any kind of originality judging.

That is it, my bad in calling it air pressure switch.

Thanks for the link.

No, no originality judging.
