tap it off,from the stock oil pressure sensor,just get the fittings,or just eliminate the stock oil sensor....use the aftermarket,what oil pressure gauge are you plan on buying

yea,but you might have to get another male to female fitting,something like this..

bascially,that fitting will go into the engine block,then that t-fitting male side,would screw over in the female portion of the fitting you put in the egine block,
