To be certain, you should:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource for your specific truck.
2. Look at a wiring diagram: A wiring diagram for your specific engine will show the location of the oil pressure switch. You can often find these online.
3. Check online forums: Search for forums dedicated to 1979 Ford F-150s. Someone there may have a picture or detailed description of the location on your particular engine.
Once you're near the oil filter, carefully examine the engine block for a small switch that fits the description. Be mindful of hot surfaces if the engine is recently running.
