oil pressure guage install frustration Im ready for this thing to work!!

I am installing the new auto meter sender on a 2000 GT and unlike the 01 - 04 there is no"plug" at the front of the oil pump to attach the new gauge sender.

So I have used a a "T" fitting but there is not enough room to fit the new sender and the stocker on the "T". I hit something on either side of the "T" and plainly there is not enough room. So i have been looking everywhere for a Y or "wye" npt 1/4 " fitting but I cannot find one anywhere. I have looked at HD, Lowes, Ace, Ferguson Plumbling, and Grainger.

If you have done this install on a 2000 GT please let me know how you did it or where you found a "Y" fitting.

Do i have to use the stock sender? If i only use the auto meter sender what is the normal psi i should hope to see on the gauge?

Thanks alot!

Mike i have to disagree from what Ive seen there is no aux plug or hole on the oil pump on a 2000SOHC. I have compared with a 2003 SOHC and the plugged hole is there on the bottom of the pump towards the front. But i can tell you that at least on my car there is no plugged hole. I wish there was, i do agree that would make it alot easier. If you can show me where I might be missing the plug please do!! Mike please post a pic of a 2000 SOHC oil pump and show me thanks man!!

after warm up the new gauge reads about 60 and then of course when blip the throttle it goes up to 80 or 90, thats normal right. I havent actually driven it yet with the new gauge.

Thanks
