I need to hook up another oil sending unit for electric fuel pump I installed. In case of no oil pressure it shuts off electric to the the fuel pump. The port I have the OEM sending unit on (by fuel filter) I also have a mechanical oil pressure line T'd into it. Getting a little busy in that spot. Was wondering if there are any other ports on block I can tap into? Thanks

there are no other ports, but what you can do is install a "T" fitting inline to your mechanical gauge, and put the low pressure switch for the fuel pump there.

Another option may be to install a sandwich for an oil filter and use it for switches, etc.
