I thought about T-ing into this line/sensor for an oil pressure guage...Any thoughts will be welcome.

Good luck with the connections. I tried all over 2 cities and nothing. The problem was getting the female side of that connection. It is usually machined into something solid and not made into a connection fitting. Also the plastic cover on your sending unit is nothing mahor. If it is cracked tape it up and keep on truckin'.
