Default Block sensor locations

I have 3 seperate oil readings to take from block.

Oil pressure switch for car
Oil pressure sensor for gauge
Oil temperature

I used to have both oil pressures split from the same port.

Hoping to use a third port instead so that I can get rid of unsightly braided splitter.

Will the blank on the rear of the driver side cylinder head be good enough to take a oil pressure reading from for either the gauge or the cars pressure switch?

If you are using aftermarket gauges, Depending on the size/make of the pressure sensor if it does not fit into the block under the altenator where the OEM switch is fitted it will need the braided relocation kit,

Oil Pressure from under the altenator
Oil temp from above cylinder 3
OEM switch can be thrown away as your gauges should be better
