If you run a bypass instead of oil cooler line, you can tap it, or buy one that is tapped for 1/8 fitting.

Any ideas where to install a mech. oil pressure gauge on ly6 with remote oil filter and Moroso pan?
Was told there is a fitting at the rear of the engine in the area where a sbc's distributor would be. Ive found it but have no idea what threads they are.
Thanks

The first question is......why?
The threads are metric. You can get an adapter at speedway or on ebay to 1/8 npt. If you remove the factory sender, you have to disable vvt, IIRC.
Tapping anywhere in the remote oil filter line is another choice.

casias,
This car has mech. gauges and has been a drag car. I use the copper tube into the cab not plastic.
My valley cover has been replaced with aftermarket cover that doesn't have any ports like the stock one did.
Remote filter is located in the front corner of the car and would be a bit of a run to get there.
Hoped on using the hole near the back of the block where the valley cover jogs around it, just not sure what the thread is.
Thanks

Here is the adapter from speedway.

If your original sender was removed, there may be a plug in it at the back of the motor on the driver's side.
I ran out and pulled my intake off. Here is where it is.
Ok. I didn't really. I found this on the web.
