    Aftermarket oil pressure gauge install question

    I have B6T engine sourced from an 88 323GT installed in my 93 Ford Festiva. I have an aftermarket (VDO) oil pressure gauge for which I need a takeoff. The VDO sender has what I believe to be 1/4"NPT threads. As a side note... I want to keep the stock oil pressure sender in place.

    There appears to be two oil passage plugs, one on the oil pump and one in the cylinder head just below the exhaust cam on the distributor end. Could either of these spots be used for the gauge's sender?

    Thanks

    Why not put in a tee and run both in the same location.

      I looked at that but the spot where the stock sender is has metric pipe threads whereas the other two spots appear to have NOT threads. The NPT spots make it a little easier I think.
