I bought this switch and harness for my car as one part of two safety upgrades to shut off my electric fuel pump if I'm involved in an accident.  Wiring this switch to the fuel pump relay would stop the pump if there's low engine oil pressure except when cranking.  I found out too late that I can't use this with my FiTech unit because the FiTech computer cycles the fuel pump on and off when the key is first turned on. So if you're running an electric fuel pump with a carb this might be useful for you.  The switch was threaded into my block but never actually used.

It's free to any member here, including shipping if you're in the U.S.  First to PM me gets it. 

In case you're curious, the other safety upgrade is an inertia switch that also kills the pump following an impact.   As I understand it, the FiTech computer turns off the fuel pump for low/no engine RPMs.
