I need a new oil pressure switch for my 1964 Super Dexta. Part number E1ADDN9278. Would a switch from a Ferguson with a Perkins engine fit and work properly? That might be more easily located in the U.S.
Thanks, Terry
I may have a problem. Should the threads be 1/2'' diameter?

Re: oil pressure switch
Not sure about the Ferguson switch, however your old one is a 1/4 BSP thread (BSP is measured on the internal pipe diameter) which has an over all thread diameter of 0.518" so yes yours is correct.terry274 wrote:I need a new oil pressure switch for my 1964 Super Dexta.

Correct me if I'm wrong but older dextas (1957-58 ) used a 1/8 BSP oil pressure switch.
I suppose any 1/4 BSP switch will do

eddiej is correct , ford as with alot of the dexta parts was always making changes, through out the run of dexta/superdexta,trying to save money i supose ,the oil switch is one example the thermostate housing was another which threw me for a time, but there are two sizes the early and later switches, 1/8 an1/4 ,
