That is really the only place unless you hook a line to the one behind your head near the distributer. The stock oil pressure sensor is the best place to put it. Why do you want to put it elsewhere?

are you talking about the 1/8" blocked fitting just below the distributor to the left? I saw that but i thought that led to the coolant?

Or you could tap it at the oil sensor and just run a T fitting there like im doing then you can use both sendors.

Use a sandwich plate to give you a pair of oil feed ports. You can use them for whatever you want. Turbo oil feed, oil cooler, gauge lines, etc.

M20x1.5mm thread size on the oil filter bolt.

does anybody have a pic or can get a pic of the port i can use for the oil pressure gauge behind the head next to distributor. I think i know which one but not sure. Does it require an allen wrench to be taken off?

Just buy one of those Ac Autotechnic sandwitch plates that screws in between your filter and your block. I have one on mine and have no problems with it at all.
