1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, 150 & 210 NEW Oil Pressure Switch OPV-20 / OEM #1998082

Available for sale is a NEW Oil Pressure Switch, replacement part number OPV-20, designed to match OEM #1998082 for 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, 150, and 210 models. This high-quality replacement component is intended for restoring proper engine oil pressure warning system function in classic Chevrolet Tri-Five applications.

The 1955 Chevrolet lineup marked the beginning of the legendary “Tri-Five” era, introducing a completely redesigned body style, improved V8 engine options, and enhanced overall performance. Models such as the 150, 210, and Bel Air remain among the most iconic and widely restored American classic cars today.

The oil pressure switch is an important engine-mounted electrical component that monitors oil pressure within the engine lubrication system. When oil pressure drops below a safe threshold, the switch activates the dashboard warning light, alerting the driver to potential lubrication issues. This system plays a key role in protecting the engine from damage caused by low oil pressure.

Over time, original oil pressure switches can fail due to internal diaphragm wear, corrosion, or electrical contact breakdown. A faulty switch may cause inaccurate readings, a constantly illuminated warning light, or no warning at all—reducing engine protection and driver awareness.

This replacement switch is designed to meet or closely match original factory specifications for proper fit, thread compatibility, and electrical function. It provides reliable operation for restored or maintained vehicles where original-style components are preferred.

For restorers, maintaining correct engine monitoring systems is essential not only for authenticity but also for safe vehicle operation. Even small electrical components like oil pressure switches play a major role in protecting classic engines that may be decades old but still in active use.

Whether you are restoring a Bel Air show car, a 210 cruiser, or a 150 utility model, this oil pressure switch offers a dependable solution for restoring factory-style warning functionality.

As Tri-Five Chevrolet parts remain highly sought after, quality replacement components like this continue to be important for keeping these classic vehicles safely on the road.
