OK, now I think I have a new problem and wonder if it explains it all (or
not). I found what I assume is the pressure sender. It only has one wire
(white with a black trace). I then found what I assume is the brake sender
-- an "H"-shaped unit that should be able to measure pressure differences
across it. It has no sender but a very suspicious looking plug. And there
is a white wire with a black trace right there that is connected to nothing.
So, I need a new brake sender (I assume the usual sources have it for not
too much). But will this make a difference? It seems to me it will not,
that all this has done is rendered the switch an oil-pressure-indicator-only
switch. I'll switch the other sender too and if the problem persists, I
guess I have to test that gauge.
Next question: Just how is the top supposed to fold? I have owned mostly
roadsters and this convertible stuff confuses me. If I zip out the rear
window, does it go down first or last? Do I fold the side windows on top or
underneath? Do I fold the top with the bow (sticks) or on top of them? I
cannot seem to get the top to stow very far down and it does not look right
at all.
Thanks.

Randall Young added:
A third possibility : the oil pressure switch is wired wrong. Later cars
used a 3-connection switch whose wiring is not obvious. If your car has had
one of these fitted as a replacement, that could be the problem.
