You need to remove the oil pressure switch down by the oil filter and screw the oil pressure sender into that orifice. Make sure its the same thread. Ideally you should get a T piece so you can still put the oil pressure switch int the oilway as well. Electric oil pressure guages have a habit of packing up so the original switch can give you a back up system.
