oil press dropping off

Heres the deal fellas,
I installed an aftermarket mechanical oil press gauge. Has anyone put a t fitting on the block for the aftermarket one so the stock one would work also? i dk if it will clear i have the edelbrock TES headers. Any one done this yet? Thanks in advance.

What are you trying to do? If you are doing testing, forget the stock one for now.

No I want to run both the stock and the aftermarket gauges because i dont want the stock one to sit around like a limp ****. I just want to know if anyone used a t fitting and ran both or if its not possible.

Bit different, I ran a 1/8" hydraulic line from the port behind the driverside head to a remote manifold near the purge canister.
The manifold feeds the oil pressure sender, manual gauge, and oil pressure switch for the fuel pump.

If they all are off the same hole in the engine, pressure should be constant.
