Default Fuel pump safety switch

Quick question... I know these switches use oil pressure to cut off the fuel pump when oil pressure drops below a certain level, but where exactly are these installed? TIA! :)

On the L98 it's installed into a stalk along with the oil pressure sw that rises from the rear of the block just to the right of and behind the dist.

On the 89 the oil pressure switch will not stop the fuel pump, it is just sort of a back up in case the fuel pump relay fails.

Thanks for the replies. :) Just to qualify the question, this fuel pressure safety switch is for a N20 install. Any LT1 owners know where they connect to?

The N2O switch typically connects to the fuel rail.
