I have a pretty decent oil leak coming from or around the oil cooler. I have a new oil cooler with new seals but I think i should replace the oil pressure switch while I am at it. where is the switch located? any tips for replacing the oil cooler?-thanks

The switch is sort of under the distributor, right above the oil cooler, look for the wire.
I would definitely install a new switch before I messed with the cooler, a lot of the time it is just the switch leaking. |

yes like Mark said this one leaks first, to the left rear of the distributor down in the sheet metal hole with a rubber boot on top and a green with red wire connected. If leaking will be loose you can wiggle the top of it, and or have oil around it. Will have to pull off the boot first to inspect
