On the 79/80 the oil level sensor was screwed in and had 2 wires the 81 and up all were held in with 3 bolts and only had one wire.

You could swap oil pans, or eliminate the oil level sensor all together.

If I am right one wire is a ground and the other is power .The one wire system its grouned by the oil like the water level sensor.
