Get a sandwich plate adapter for the oil filter. It really is the best way. You can run your oil supply line, if your boosted, along with your pressure gauge.

Re: oil pressure gauge best way
what brand gauge are you using? most aftermarket oil pressure sensors are kinda big remote mounting them is a good idea. you can use 1/8npt -> -3an adapter for the block then run a length of -3 hose to the sensor on the firewall. a sandwich plate is another good idea and will let you keep the OE pressure sensor.

Does it work? Yes. Is it the best way? No. If that "T" breaks you are going to be wishing you didn't go that route.
Get a sandwich adapter.

Re: oil pressure gauge best way
I agree against the brass fitting, from personal experience- it was the cheaper alternative but it definitely caused some headaches, stupid fitting broke off in the block... Ended up having to buy an ez out and pulling the broken piece out, it damaged my threads so I had to retap it, now the stock oil pressure sensor barely seals-
I have my golden eagle sandwich plate on delivery :thumbsup:
Definitely go with the sandwich plate. As they say- do it right, or do it twice :thumbsup:
