Tee in at the oil pressure sender port. I'm using a mechanical gauge under the hood and stock gauge in the car. Here is a picture showing the tee and mechanical gauge hose.

Typically, it's the connector which goes bad.

As in the wire that connects to the oil pressure switch.

It SHOULD be close to the oil filter - driver's side IIRC for the SC.

I have several pictures in my garage page that detail my oil pressure gauge install. Here's a closeup on how connected both the stock sensor and a mechanical sensor.
