Default Anyone use an autometer oil pressure gauge

I went to install my autometer oil pressure gauge and I noticed the sending unit is a good bit bigger then the stock one. Will this clear the intake?

Yes I am running one. Above your oil filter there is a small oil divertor on the outside of the oil pan, it is held to the pan with 2 10mm bolts, take it off, you will notice there is a spot on the top of it that looks like it is half wway drilled through. Drill it the rest of the way out, tap it with a 1/8th NPT tap, Install your sender to the divertor plate you just tapped out, and reinstall it to the block and your done

Is this with an electrical or mechanical gauge? I dont see how the big sending unit I have with my electrical would fit on the block? Got any pics?
