37 Coupe, I believe that's correct. The fitting next to the coolant drain valve is the original location for the '55/'57 T-Bird oil pressure switch... see photos below.

The previous photo of the pressure switch on an upside down engine was not the original engine for the car, a '55 T-Bird. That photo was meant only as an example of the locations of the oil galley fittings.
I placed the pressure switch in that location because that's where it was on the engine that was removed, also not original to the car.

The next two photos show before and after on what was an original, but now rebuilt, T-Bird engine
