Default 1969 351w Engine Oil Pressure Sender

I recently upgraded my oil,water temp and amp gauges to autometer which are all wired seperately from the stock dash gauges. All of the stock gauges are still working but I have one problem. I used the stock nipple extension that holds the oil sending unit for the new autometer oil sending unit. I need to find a second location for the stock oil sending unit. On the opposite side of the engine almost in the same location it looks to be a oil galley plug right in front of the motor mount. Could this be a possible place? Any ideas?

There's no oil galley tap on the passenger side. If you want to use two senders, you can use a T-fitting. You need to transmit pressure, not flow.

However, I would not hang a pair of senders off an extension on the side of the block. Eventually, the vibration will crack the extension. My single stock type extension cracked after 2 season on the track and street.

I mounted mine on a home made to bracket attached to the frame. I use AN fittings and braided line to connect it to the block.
