Default oil preasure switch

I like to know where is the oil preasure swich. If any body have picture it will be super. just to make sure.

I need to know because my car have an aftermarket oil preasure gauge instal on the left side of the motor. and
since I know this switch have something to do with the fuel pump back up energy supply. I will like to install the proper switch. to restore the original condition.

If you can't feel it under dist from top then going to have to take dist out

Note.
You own a C4.
Get used to operating by FEEL because there are plenty of things you can't see without dismantling the car

Switches are in same location on all C4's ( configuration varies by year )
Yours has non stock fittings
