John,

If the switch is positioned so that the contacts are at 12 o'clock, 3
o'clock and 6 o'clock, the configurations is as follows:

12 o'clock -- common pole, black wire to ground.
3 o'clock -- normaally closed (no pressure), white/brown strip to oil
warning lamp.
6 o'clock -- normally open contact (closes when there is pressure),
whjite/pink strip wire with insulated connector to anti run-on valve.
