Default Autometer Oil Pressure Gauge

I am trying to figure out where to get the oil pressure reading for my oil pressure gauge. I have no clue where the stock sending unit is or any other possible place to get a reading...I'll take any ideas at this point...I'm lost...

Your stock unit is behind the intake, screwed into the top of the block.

I removed the aluminum piece above the oil filter and drilled and tapped for the sending unit. So both the factory gauge and the autometer gauge work. That piece is only held on by 2 10mm bolts. Been leak free for over 5 years!!
