Matt,
I just looked at the oil flow schematic in my 1972 Cadillac shop manual and guess what; the oil pressure switch is in a similar
location flow wise. Guess the engineers at Caddy were cut from the same cloth (probably even more expensive cloth at that)! I wonder
if they had to do battle with the bean counters as well?
Regards,
Rob M.

Rob,
Not GM as a whole, but those in one group could be counted on to hold out. While Olds in Lansing was still independent, they were
know as being the kind of wild and quality crazy guys....
They got away with lots of things that were antithetical to the rest of GM. They drove the bean counters crazy by refusing to buy
the cheapest rings, bearings and seals. They got blocks and heads cast with a nickle content that was "way too high".
This is why Oldsmobile died shortly after they were forced by GM to use the Chevy SB in most of their line. Buyers stayed away in
droves as soon as that was discovered.
Matt
