I have seen your engine on the site before but never knew who's it was, and have gone back and looked at it for reference in my build. Good to finally see who's truck it belongs in.

Hi Mike
I looked over the wiring diagrams that I have and didn’t find an alternative place that I liked to hook up the negative side of the buzzer to. If I was installing a buzzer with an oil pressure gauge I would use a small automotive relay along with the buzzer. This way the relay can be set up to be an open circuit when the ignition switch is on and the circuit closed when the ignition switch is off. The small automotive relay is often called a Bosch 5 blade relay or SPDT Relay (Single Pole Double Throw Relay) Hears a quick picture below of how the relay would be wired in.
This is how I would wire the Buzzer with an oil pressure gauge instead of a pressure light (Ref back to post #425 thru 429)
