Oil pressure gauge install

Anyone know the spot on the block where you install the fitting to send oil to an electric sending unit? A picture would be helpful.

same spot front and back, to get them out easily take a hand torch and heat up the bottom where it molds into the block for a minute or two to heat up the loctite then a t-40 male torx will get it out.

You lost me lol. Are you saying that the sensor looks out of place and a live oil line looks better coming from the galley?

Nah the galley bolt I pictured is what's used for turbo oil feeds I assumed it was used for the oil pressure also, looks like it isn't lol.

you can also use the galley plugs on the back of the motor also right? i had seen pictures that people were using the plug behind the water pump? other question there are about three plugs on the back of the block, does anyone know if they are usable for gauges?
