[DeTomaso] 2nd oil pressure gauge

For a pressure reading there's a slight difference between the fuel pump port and a T fitting at the rear of the block. I wouldn't worry much about that. If you're monitoring oil temp (which wasn't the question) a T fitting at the pressure sender won't be as good as a sender in the fuel pump port IMO.
