So im gonna b buy me a stewart warner electric oil pressure gauge next week and im just curious about the install. If i wanna install it and also keep my factory oil pressure sending unit. So should i just get a basic T-fitting and thread them both in?? Or do i piggy back onto the new sending unit? or how do i do this?? Im just trying to get every thing filled out b4 i get the car back so when i get it back i can start workin on it right away..

get the single T
its made of steel so it wont crack over time, like a brass T will.

i would also suggest getting a oil line kit and mounting your oil pressure unit off to the side. They are pretty heavy and with the vibrations from the engine, they can easily break the T and any other plumbing attached to it.

Absolutely correct. Do not use hard plumbing off the head.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
