Is that what you were asking?
Rod, that does make more sense about the oil pressure being there... I am still learning about older engines and where everything hooks up and how. I thought that the unit on the back of my intake manifold, right behind and underneath the distributor was a connection for like an electronic style oil pressure sender, (noob move, I know lol.)

As for the links you provided, I haven't ever really looked at that part of my motor, so I will be doing that today to see if I can find it.

As far as my gauge, I would just use the stock gauge, and get an oil gauge line kit? Does it have to be copper line? I see a few online that are braided lines.

Sorry for so many questions. I just want to keep the gauges as stock as possible. Thanks for the reply and input Rod!
