[T3] Type 3 Ghia + questions

[Everett Barnes <everettb@thesamba.com>]

I picked up a '65 Type 3 Ghia last Saturday.  Flew to El Paso, TX, tuned
it up and drove it home 450 miles to Phoenix, AZ.  It needs a bunch of work
but it made it home without any serious troubles.  Pictures at:

Question:
The oil light does not work.  I verified the bulb is getting power and I
swapped bulbs with the working generator light so I know the bulb is good.
 I grounded the oil light pole on the back of the warning light gauge and
the bulb lit up.   When I ground the wire at the oil pressure switch, it
does not light up.  The oil pressure switch is also a known good unit. 
The only thing I can come up with is that there is a break in the wire going
from the dash to the engine compartment but I've never heard of that happening...
 I did verify that the wire from the oil light bulb goes directly into the
wiring loom, heading to the back of the vehicle (as far as I know).  None
of the wiring in the engine compartment has been disturbed, as far as I
can tell.

Any advice?

Thanks,
Everett
