some intakes have a spot for water sending units if yours does then use it if not im not sure where it would go.

It looks like that’s a mechanical oil pressure fitting. I installed mine on the extension that the original oil sending unit screwed into. But on mine I wanted to use the original electrical sending unit too. So i unscrewed the extension from the block and drilled and tapped the extension so I could "T" in my mechanical pressure line too. Works great no problems.

Can send photo if you want.

yeah the stock unit sends the voltage to the gauge on the dash which I wanted to keep working when i installed my mechanical oil pressure gauge, so i just "T"ed my pressure line in as seen in the photo
