You should find a connection on the oil pump block adjacent to where the oil warning light switch is ... depending on the design of the pump!

If it isn't there you will have to fit a tee piece to fit the switch and the gauge feed pipe.

Thanks for the reply but isnt the oil pump in the sump?? I already have a guage do I take out the existing oil pressure warning light switch and replace with one that reads the pressure or do I add to it? Thanks

The oil filter housing has the oil pressure switch fitted to it, you remove the switch then fit a T or Y shaped adaptor to where the switch came out. Fit the switch back on to one of the ends of the T or Y and fit the pressure gauge connector to the remaining hole in the adaptor

A light coming on may grab your attention, a slowly decreasing needle may not - better safe than sorry
