Sorry to see this Vince, I am hoping your clever thinking helped prevent major damage.

No issues at all these were all old failures current engine is working great. Protected by the watchdog! LOL!

Its a great system , and sure saved you a couple bundles of cash.

My first car 75 Vega GT would knock off the in-tank fuel pump when there was an oil pressure drop , factory feature.
Usually when it was 2 QTS low.
I drove it from 60k to well over 200k , wouldn't have made it without that oil pressure sensor/switch.

Your ignition kill is ideal

I have run a Vega pressure switch connected to a 30 amp relay going to my fuel pump for years. Even ran a Holley blue through the switch with no relay for a time. Its really simple, won't shut off the engine as soon as a switch to the MSD . Whatever time it takes to run out the fuel in your bowls I guess.
As soon as the engine fires and has oil pressure the pump comes on.
I mostly did it for safely reasons.
its nice to see you back at it. This stuff can take awhile.

Curious what would cause the caps to break like that? Just the shock of driveshaft breaking? Or something else?

Dragncar, the reason I made this is so it would shut the engine down as soon as low oil pressure was seen to prevent damage. It has worked perfectly for me and with the start-up delay it allows the engine to start with no oil pressure for 30 seconds then it will shut off the engine if oil pressure has not reached the sensor value.

sdbob, Not sure what happened first but I do know it was going to be a mess on the track if my monitor system did not shut the engine down!
