I don't know about the article you are asking about but there are several around I am sure, but if all you are looking for is how you remove the plug from the block right above the oil filter, and put in a fitting there, then on the back of the block right behind the intake manifold is where the oil preasure sending unit is. and you put in a tee there with one side going to the oil preasure gauge, and the other to the line going to the fitting you just put in on the front., I prefer to use braided line, and fittings as they are stronger, and don't rub through the stainless line.

even a 3/8" line is more than enough. i just saw a pic of the job done.

Keep it away from the header/manifold heat. Remember that you have to work around it to pull valve covers etc. You don't want it in the way. I think steel or even SS tube looks nice and professional AN fittings look great. 3/8" line would be OK also. I just like to relieve restriction as much as possible. If you use rubber hose remember to change it in ~5 years.
