Default Oil Pressure Gauge Install

Ok, I have located the stock oil pressure sender unit, and I am having trouble finding a Tbar to use to install it, the one I found will not go into the bolt hole. I want to know if there is something else I can do to install, or anyone that would install for a little $, kinda broke right now, but will do what I can. Let me know if anyone can help or any ideas. Thanx

the treads are 1/8"bspt(I think this is the correct name), not the standard 1/8"npt. thats why the T you bought dosn't thread in properly. I would buy an oil filter adapter that has ports for your oil pressure gauge. some people just JAM the 1/8"npt into the WRONG treads and hope it dosn't leak.

You dont need the stock sending unit if you have a pressure gauge, so dont worry about the T... Just put it directly in the block...

cant put it directly in the block, the hole is to close to the oil filter.
