Default Oil pressure gauge tapped off the block

Was wondering if anyone knows what size T to get to tap off the block for my oil pressure gauge. I'm talking about the T thats already there for the s/c oil feed and stock oil pressure sensor. Need to add a gauge sensor at that point and don't know the size or where to get one for that matter.

I believe it's a 1/8" NPT off the brass tee. I could be wrong though. You should be able to buy fittings like that at a hardware store like True Value. The smaller places usually have a better selection than Lowes or Home Depot.

i bought the GReddy oil filter adapter kit and just extended the harness wire using some 18ga. wire and heat shrinking butt connectors.

If you get that, I recommend taking the 2 allen wrench screws out and wrapping one of them with teflon tape, and also wrap the threads for the oil pressure sensor in teflon tape too. I put the sensor on the side hole of that adapter.

Works really well, very easy to install too.
