You can get the block T from stealthmode performance. In the 6th gen civic's the oil pressure sensor IS NOT to the left of the oil filter, it's directly above it. You'll likely have to make small incisions on the black plastic cover over the sensor because it will be really stuck on there.

So this isn't the temperature switch? or where the T goes?

The T replaces where the oil sensor goes, yes.

i dont remember the thread but there should be an adapter that came with your gauge i think its 1/8npt or 1/4npt, you can get a T from your hardware store just go up to the counter and ask for a T in the size you need, then you can either get some threaded pipe or i used about a foot long of -4 braided steel line, thread that into the block make sure you have the wright thread, then at the end of the pipe thread in one end of the T then thread your factory o/p sendor into the T so that your oil pressure light dosent come on, they thread in the o/p gauge sending unit and run all the wires and you should be good, that is if you have a mechanical gauge i should have asked you that first, thats pretty much exactly how i did mine its alot easier than it sounds, i hope this helps you out
