I think you need to purchase an adaptor that is sandwiched between your oil filter and the block. Much like an oil cooler would have. Then again, maybe there is a fitting right off the oil filter connection (insert title here) ---

Buy a T and tee if off the oile pressure sending unit right by the filter and you will be good to go! unless u have a sandwich…the T will cost you no more then 10 bucks! ---

nonono you want to scrap that oil sending unit and buy a 1/8 in. NPT Female to 1/8 in. BSPT Male with a expensive braided oil line with a mechanical gauge, this way y ou know 100% sure your oil pressure is correct
