You could use the port above the oil filter(if you can get the OEM pipe plug out), but the simplest way to add an oil pressure gauge is to put a tee in the hole behind the intake manifold. Due to the height of the oil pressure/fuel pump switch, you will probably have to point it off to the side and put the oil line pointing up. Any auto parts store or big box home improvement store will have 1/8" pipe thread brass tees and nipples.
