Trevor,

On my 289 (which has the same architecture as your motor), my fuel pressure 
sender threaded directly into the block, where your hokey adapter chingus is.   
I wanted to have two oil pressure senders (one for the electric gauge on the 
dash, the other for an electrical gauge), so I got a standard Ford oil 
pressure sending unit extension.   I then drilled and tapped a second hole so it has 
a sender in one of them, and a braided steel line going to the mechanical 
gauge in the other.

This is a simple piece whittled out of steel.   It threads into the block and 
gives you a handy place to install the sender.   Very simple, hex-shaped so a 
wrench fits on it so you can get it good and tight.   Simple solution to your 
problem.

Did I mention it is simple? :>)
