i would put the T on the firewall and extend the wires for the stock sensor... i've seen brass Ts snap of the block from vibration... and it's a pain the drill out and re-tap!

You will need a BSPT to NPT Adaptor.

In my case, I got a BSPT to NPT
NPT to AN - AN Hose - AN Tee on fire wall

AN-Tee to pressure sensor for idiot light,
AN-Tee to sending unit for guage

make sure to ground the sending unit to a good ground.
