  You know Dean, when I take a wild stab at something
and say I am not sure enough to post it publically, there
is no need to forward it to the list and put me on 
the spot now, is there?

  Well, the circuit is all in series, ignition switch,
valve, and oil pressure switch. Would imply that the valve
only gets voltage when the ignition switch is on, and
the oil pressure valve is closing itself to ground. Or
at least, that is my 1975 MG wiring would be wrong
to assume they are all the same (although this is
the Triumph 1500 engine).
