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.

Oh Rob,,

I know they did... Caddy also had the good castings. I was some small part of it. (Regularly rewriting reports to clearly demonstrate some point or other for the client.) Part of what you might not know is that for very many years GM was organized as BOC and CPC. (Some said these were abbreviations for Big Opulent Cars and Cheap Practical Cars, but that was never confirmed.) The bean counters were always on Chevy to reduce cost. This had some humorous side effects that are still industry legend.
