Hi, Im new to this website, I just wanted to know where on my engine I can tap into an oil passage to get an oil pressure reading. Thanks

Welcome to the site.

The most common place to put a sender is in the brass block where the turbo is fed and where the factory oil sending unit is. It's located on the passenger side of the block next to the timing cover. You will need another brass fitting from a local parts store. There are probably a few ways to do it but this is what I did...Feel free to ask any question!

The front of block pass side where the turbo gets its feed you can either add a T & put your line there or remove the 3 wire plug idiot lite & use that spot.
Go to http://www.vortexbuicks-etc.com/ & Steve has a good write up with pics of my setup.
