Re: oil pressure gauge
Yea you can tap the stock oil feed. But that wouldn't eliminate the fact that you still need a sending unit if this is an electrical gauge.
Oops I re-read what you wrote and it seems that you mean tapping into the wire from the stock oil pressure sensor? No, you can't do that. It's not a sending unit really, it's a switch. It's either on or off, which means you either have oil pressure or you don't. In this case a gauge would be as useful as the dummy light in your dash.

Re: oil pressure gauge
Wait, you can T off the stock oil pressure sensor on the block then run the oil pressure gauge off one side of the T. Id suggest a brass hardline instead of those shitty plastic looking ones. If this didnt help sorry because I did or didnt understand your situation.
