The oil pressure sender unit on my car is running from the location of the stock Oil Pressure sensor (on top of the engine slightly behind the Alternator). Tom used a T fitting and sensors screw in on the opposite sides. Seems to be the easiest way of doing it, for wiring and for read out purposes since this is the spot the stock oil pressure sensor is located in.

there are aftermarket galley plugs available as well. this will allow you to use any oil galley plug as a tap for the sensor.

If yo get a galley plug tapped for the sender it would look something like this

Not sure it would fit under a stock manifold
