Where is oil pressure switch?

Ok boys, stupid question...

Where is the oil pressure switch on my 1970 Cutlass Supreme 350?

Restomod underway! Exciting!

Thanks,
James

Right behind the water pump, on the drivers side,on the little shelf and there should be a dark blue wire dangling off the top...it stands up vertically, skinny where it threads into the block and fat at the top-about 1 1/8" takes a special socket to un-screw unless it is junk then vice-grips work great...

Hmmmm

I could have sworn that was the water temp switch. Right now I have no wire reference as the engine was recently totally rebuilt. My fear is that the machinist removed the oil sensor switch and put a bolt in its place in order to seal the hole while he worked on it.
