I'm not actually replacing it but I'm trying to hook up the wire. With the engine in the frame and the carbs in it's almost impossible to get at the screw to tighten down the terminal.  >:( I just put a battery in and was checking out the wiring and my oil pressure light didn't come on so I found the the wire was disconnected at the switch. Maybe pulled it out while working on the engine. Maybe just for forgot to hook it up. Who knows? Thought I'd throw up a post while I was taking a break from it.

The one beside the tensioner, use a stubby screwdriver, or a  1/4 inch screwdriver bit, taped to a 1/4 inch wrench.
To get them out, if you will replace screw, alligator visegrips.
 Hope the middle does not turn or leak.
