Been looking and trying to figure out what is and this and where to get this. Somebody help me or tell me what aftermarket gauge and adapter they use.

That location on the oil pump is where the stock oil pressure "idiot light" switch would mount. It looks like someone plumbed in a T-fitting so they could keep the stock oil pressure light hooked up and also run an aftermarket gauge.

That silver/black fitting screwed into the center of the T with a blue wire hooked up to it is the stock sender for the dash light. The other side of the T is hooked to a plastic oil line that would lead to a mechanical gauge.

All those bits are available at your local hardware store. I believe the hole in the pump is threaded for 3/8 pipe thread. Go to the plumbing section. Many oil pressure gauge sending units are 1/4 pipe thread or possibly even 1/8 pipe thread. You will likely need adapters.

And if you're going to run a mechanical guage, DO NOT run plastic line. It's a good way to spray oil all over the inside your car at some later date.
Use small diameter copper tubing instead.
