Disconnecting the factory oil pressure switch isn't a problem. It's strictly for the idiot light. No CEL, no other functions.

The real problem is that the factory switch has a 1/8 BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) which looks close but is not the same as the 1/8 NPT (National Pipe Taper) The Innovate sensors have NPT threads.

Is this your Blitz plate? You could just stack this Mocal plate on top of it but that gets pretty kludgey. I got this specific one and am very happy with it. You'll see it comes with a spacer. You can get it without the spacer. If you go with the Mocal, make sure you get the 1/2" BSPP x -10AN fittings. BSPP=British Standard Pipe Parallel.

Not trying to sell you on it. Just discussing. Questions?
