Johnny,
When I saw that setup I felt it wasn't the best way to accomplish the desired result for the following reasons:
1) the weight of all the bits and pieces would stress the 1/8" pipe tube where it enters the engine block when the engine vibrates
2) brass fittings were used and IIRC someone reported they break
I connected a remote mechanical oil pressure gage by teeing in like the photo BUT I used stainless steel fittings
This setup was put together by John Hesliga. He's an extremely skilled guy and IIRC auto shop teacher. While I was surprised by the
way he did it he would have felt it was strong enough to handle the stresses.
Regards,
Rob M.

The photo shows a setup which adds seven potential leak spots. Turn the 'tee' fitting slightly forward, put the switch in it, and
there are only two
potential leak spots added.
