This is how I did it:

Have a steel braided line made (appx 1.5') with both male ends with the same threads as your OEM oil press. sending unit.
Run that steel braided line into the block, replacing the OEM sending unit.
On the other end of the line, put a "T" fitting with all female connections.
On one side, put the sending unit for your new gauge and on the other put the OEM sending unit. You may have to extend the wire for the OEM sending unit.
Put a loop in the steel line to absorb shock from the engine and then mount everything else to the body somewhere (I put it on my firewall).

That's it.
