i hope you didn't thread that brass T into your the stock sensor position... that is alot of weight for that spot to support with all the vibrations of the engine and such...

^My T fitting is installed directly to the block. No problems thus far.
I have read about a few cracking, but I think that was due to the design of the ones used... My fitting is much more rounded and beefier looking than the pics of the broken one I saw (the one I saw broken was a standard hex shaped one)...
Also, if a BSPT--->MPT adapter is not used (almost no T fittings are BSPT... at least none I have found in any local shops), I think that would cause extra vibrations/problems, as it would be in there much tighter than it would be if the proper fitting where used (pressure points on the threads from the improper thread pattern)...

I installed an oil pressure gauge and kept the light as well. I went to a hardware store and got the correct brass t-fitting and redusers. It looks good and there are no oil leaks. If the car came with the oil light then why not keep it as a backup to the gauge.
