Very likely you have a bad sending unit.A mechanical oil pressure gauge Tee'd in to the oil port is the only way to know for sure since you might need the switch to run the LP.
AC Delco only for electrical replacements,BWD are very bad switches.

What year engine?

Should be no issue wiring wise,get a delco sending unit and google "OPS relay mod" while you are at it-it is worth the effort.

Check LP operation as well.

Should be just in front of the fuel filter manager in the engine valley.

If you have a later model block it could be tucked under the intake closer to the middle/rear of the valley.
