Since it's a cool down controller, it's probably referring to an oil temperature switch. Most vehicles aren't equipped with them, so you'll probably need to get one from where ever you got the controller.

I know on my 83 monte carlo ss with the stock 305 the oil pressure switch is on the back of the manifold.
