505 V6 1987 Oil pressure switch

Where the heck is it? While replacing the water pump I discovered why the oil light
never lights: sensor wire is broken and does not connect to the pressure switch. The
rest of the circuit is fine, as a ground to the wire turns on the oil and STOP lights in the
inst. binnacle.
But I can't figure out where the wire is supposed to connect. Behind the alternator,
unsee-able, is what I think is the oil temp sensor. At least it has a wire connected to it,
and the wire comes out of the same harness as the broken wire. But I've felt all around
that area and can't find anything that feels like a pressure sensor that has lost its wire.
There are a couple of unused non-electrical connections, though, like a small hose
barb that comes out of the block and goes nowhere at all. Those of you who have had
a ZN3J out in the daylight may have some wisdom for me.
TIA,
The previous posts about water pump replacement and hose equivalents were
invaluable. Many thanks!
