Fessman..... ...congratts on #7. Now I know of 7 different ways to convert to 12 volts and they all work. With the 3-wire Delco SI-10 or whatever their calling it, the alternator needs a momentarary shot of 12 volts to excite the alternator windings so it starts outputting at LOW RPM's. BUT because of the design of the alternators internal voltage regulator, it feed 12 volts back out to the ignition switch (which gave its innital 12 volt jump) which also is connected to the ignition coil. Therefore, if you don't figger out away to stop that feedback to the ignition coil, you'll NEVER be able to stop your engine. SOOoo.... with your oilpressure diss-connect switch, you get the alternator the kickstart excite thru P-1, and with engine running, the oil pressure disconnects the alternator from the ignition coil path and you are then able to turn your engine off. So bottom line, your oilpressure disconnect switch is acting as a blind idiot light or resistor or other decoupling device. Go with what was working before..... ..... .Dell
