So if the oil filter canister is not a good sensing point, is there another access point into the oil galleys? I can tap in about anywhere.

Is there a reason why the Pressure Sending unit cannot be connected to the Bottom Rear of the Oil filter Housing where the normal Oil Pressure Sensor or Oil Pressure Line is connected?
In the pic I put the Oil Filter Cap central Tube in My Lathe and drilled and tapped a hole in the Center of the Cap. I used the Hole to attach a Test Gauge and later used it for my Bypass Oil Filter.
The Oil Pressure sending unit on the Cap is for my Low Oil Pressure Alarm.
It will turn the Alarm on around 5-7 psi of Oil Pressure. Which as some member point out is not going to help much if I lose Oil pressure on the high end of the while on the Freeway. But, it is better than noting.
