Default LS-VTEC help with fittings/ oil line

Hey everyone, Im going to do an ls vtec soon and I need to know what size fitting is needed behind the head for the oil line. I am planning on using a -6AN oil line so I know i need -6AN on one side but what size thread is needed for the head? I am planning to tap oil from the oil pressure sensor. That would be 1/4 NPT pipe thread right?

Dose it matter how big the oil line is? If i doesnt should I go smaller, maybe -4AN?

Please help me out, this is my first ls vtec build.

You will need a 3/8npt to -6 for the head and a 1/8"bspt oil distribution block with a 1/8npt to -6 adapter. We have a kit for $70 shipped which includes all of this plus the 2 dowel pins, and the assembled line.
