For a 50 lb unit, you'll have to get a Jeep sendeing unit.

While the jeep unit works great you need a adaptor for the threads ( C.R.S. took over )
{Can't remember what thread to what thread.} Bring your old one to compair threads.

For a reducing bushing use a 1/4" NPT to 1/8" NPT, (National pipe thread).

Here's a replacement. I am surprised they are so expensive.

Anytime, if I can remember.

The 50# Jeep oil pressure sw used is for a 1955 Jeep truck.
The one I used was a Crown (brand) #3212004, bought from a Willys parts place, I can't find my paperwork on this.
I would think NAPA could cross reference the number to their stuff.
About $16.00 bucks ?
The Carpenter supplied 50# Ford repop is about $50.00, but it's a direct replacement.
