Default Oil pressure switch

have y'all seen an oil pressure switch that looks like the one in the picture that I have attached? It goes on a 71 mustang Fastback. 1 line is to the fuel pump 1 is to the gauge. Not sure bout the third. If so where can I get one. I have checked several places and have had no luck. Thanks in advance

Thank you for the response. Very sweet sounding ride.
Got a 331 stroker, balance Windsor Jr heads, comp magnum 284h cam, maule pistons, canton windage tray and main cap support, scat crank, Erson forged aluminum roller rocker arms, 600 street avenger Holley carb, C4 automatic transmission with TCI breakaway torque converter, hurst ratchet shifter, 8 inch ford limited slip rear end with 3.50 gear ****. Paint is decent but overall still have a lot I need/want to do!

Sounds nice, congrats on that setup.

Just curious, you said one of those wire runs to the fuel pump ? I'm assuming that it's just a ground for the pump. But I don't know why they'd do that when the block or frame would be a better ground.

It does run to the fuel pump and acts as an emergency shut off for the fuel pump as well as a **** off for the oil pressure
