You don't need to tap anything. I think some guys use the oil filter housing's spare port, but it tends to get pretty toasty over there, and if you're not careful about how you route the wiring, you'll fry it pretty quick-like.
Sorry, though, I cannot tell you remember where exactly the factory oil-press sending unit is, but you could probably utilize that spot with a Tee or something.

Oil pressure gauge in the dash but not of oil temperature gauge it's not a bad thing to monitor really if you really big into it and have a high performance motor or you just got some extra money to spend you might as well do it I personally have 1 and I have to say that it probably wasn't worth the 83 dollars that I paid for the gauge and sending unit to put it in but that's just my personal opinion if I were to buy anything it would be a pyromoter boost fuel pressure oil pressure water temperature tranny temperature and drive pressure
