Default adapter for electrical oil pressure gauge?

Does anybody have a source for an adapter to mount a sender for an aftermarket electrical oil pressure gauge in tandem with the GM sender.

Or, can the GM sender be left unplugged if the PCM will be reprogrammed, on a 2000 LS1 and a different sender be installed in the factory location with causing PCM issues?

You can put one just above the oil filter. There's a piece that you can unbolt, drill & tap, and put back on with the aftermarket sending unit. I've got a chrome fitting that the sending unit goes into if you're interested in going that route.

Thanks. I am probably going to add the lingenfelter adapter there for an external oil cooler. It looks like there is one port on that piece, that would probably be easiest to plumb a temp sender due to packaging constraints.

I tried calling them to see if there was more than one port, but they're on holiday until the new year.

FWIW, I'd like to take the pressure reading from the high spot/furthest point.
