Default Oil Pressure Sender Location

I'm going to install my oil pressure gauge this week and I am trying to get all the mounting hardware together. Is it ok to use a T-fitting mounted where the steel braided line goes out of the VTEC block to the S/C?

No, don't do that. All that extra weight on one fitting will likely cause the block to crack due to vibration. Run a stainless steel braided line from the stock oil pressure sensor location to a 3 or 4 way tee and mount that on the lower chassis rail. From there you can tee as many senders/lines as you want. I'll take a pic of mine to show you.

Hmm... I was thinking about using a T and then an extended hose to mount the sender agains the firewall. Is this not a good idea? I don't think it will add even an ounce more strain on the block.

Don't do that, do this.

I'm thinking it might just be easier to use the stock sensor location. What thread does the stock sensor use?
