Default Oil Pressure Gauge Adapter and Filter Question

I am going to be installing an aftermarket Oil Pressure gauge and I know I need to use an adapter that goes between the filter and the block. I have decided on the AC AutoTechnic or the Greddy adapter but I can't seem to find the right part number for either one needed for shopping around for prices. I know a bunch of places have them, I just want to get the best price.

Also, can I use the OEM oil filter or do I have to use a different one and if so, which one. I know some of the TC guys need a different filter.

Thanks in advance!
Mike

Same here^^^ I just installed my greddy one and it fit great. I did however have to have the hole for the sensor re-tapped on the adaptor because my autometer sensor didnt fit.

Does anyone have a picture of where the stock sensor mount is located and maybe a picture of what it looks like after you have installed the gauge sender. I think I would rather do it this way if it is the best. It also sounds a lot cheaper, too.

Thanks again,
Mike
