On my 1977 GMC K20, 305 engine - the oil pressure switch is under the distributor and hard to access with a socket. Does anyone know about how many ft-lbs these are installed with? I know I can use a crowfoot wrench to access it - but curious about what torque to install the new one at?

put some teflon tape on it and just get it "tight", but don't crank on it.

Seal the threads and just tighten it like you would a shower head. Don't go overboard.
