74' Plymouth Satellite, 318 engine...Does anybody know the type or name of the wire connector that fits the 1/4" brass button on top of the oil sensor? I have no idea what kind of connector it would recieve...looks like a levi jeans rivet.

The wire connector slides on across the top of the switch, and looks like this but black in color.

Stock setup terminal doesn't have the insulator, but works pretty much as described. It looks like a flattened packard terminal but cut on inner edges to admit the flat top button of the oil sender. Also spring loaded.

no one of the 3rd gens at least. And honestly I'm pretty sure never in earlier years. Since drives ground, there is no need for insulation. The worst it can happen is a full reading or light on if idiot light on cluster
