Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge conversion

I put a tee into my 5.7L engine. I don't have a photo of the sensor and hose connected, though.
The brass tee is behind the "Sch" of my name on the copyright notice.

Guess it isn't recommended to rig something to leave the angled block connector as is? Terrified to mess with that thing...

wow, you did that without moving the distributor?

I wouldn't expect big trouble with the OEM fitting for the original oil pressure sending unit. Anything can happen, but I haven't seen examples of that fitting breaking.

I'm kinda thinking that photo was taken during the assembly of the engine, or assembled on an engine stand, and then photographed after it was dropped into the the engine bay.
