Default Oil Pressure Sensor/Sender Connector

This is in regard to an '86.

I've been trying to get this car started, but have had a lot going on in life lately, and have been interrupted a lot. I was checking out the two-wire connector to the oil pressure sensor/sender, and not sure which direction it goes back on. There is a red wire, and an orange one. Can anyone tell me which direction it goes on, or have a pic of it connected?

Thank you...

I'd think it's a 'normally closed' with oil pressure so I'd thing it likely doesn't matter. The 'connector' isn't indexed is it?

Try 8A-20- in the FSM.

Are the terminals A & B marked on the switch?

On my 86 vert the wires are in a push on/ squeeze off type of connector. The orange wire is towards the front of the car but I don't think that matters. Just plug it in and if it doesn't work then turn it around. Only goes on two ways.
