 To make sure that there will be atight seal, cover the threads with teflon tape prior to installing the new oil pressure switch, that way there won't be any oil leaks.

 Start the Bronco and watch the oil pressure gauge, the oil pressure should be within the normal range.

Watch for any oil leaks on the new oil pressure switch as you allow the engine to run for a few minutes, if you don't see any oil leaks you are done.
