Default Oil Pressure Gauge (Where & Size Threads?)

I have a gauge, but am not 100% sure where to install it, and what size threads to use....

I was told to put a Tee Fitting in between the Oil sensor and block......Is this the sensor where I should put it??

If so, what size threads are it???

thats the sensor, but i dunno what the thread size is off the top of my head. use some teflon tape on anything that isnt a compression fitting so it doesnt leak (like the T your going to install)

Cool....I thought so. I was reading around on some other threads and I started to doubt myself

OK......so does anyone know the size?

Worst case scenario, I need to pull it, and size it at the store. But the autopart stores around here don't stock those T-fittings......

I hate to have to pull it off, measure it, put it back in.....order fitting from summit, and then pull it again, and finally install it [:@]

That is a pic of the front of the motor from the bottom....

The arrow is right over the filter.....to the top-left is the timing chain cover, and to the bottom-left is the oil pan......I took it from under the car on the front drivers side

on earlier foxes like the motor I got mine from they came with a pipe thread extention and sending unit screwed in on a angle...who needs to even t in so the stock gauge works..do away with it... mech ftw= more accurate...here is what the extention looks like:

ya mjr thats what mine looks like. i think thats why i was confused with the first pic

take ur sending unit off and bring it to someplace like sears hardware and find the T-fitting there.
