im just going to assume that the A series are reasonably similar to K series. where you spin the oil filter onto might be an alloy block that then bolts to the motor, get that block drilled and tapped to accept the sender unit, if you cant do it yourself it shouldnt cost more than $20 if you needed to pay someone to drill + tap that.

replace the words 'sender unit' with 'fitting' for a mechanical gauge, sorry i thought you meant an electric one - same theory applies though.

if it is a mechanical gauge you will have oil going up that tube to wherever you mount the gauge itself
if its an autometer one put the nylon hose in the bin and buy the braided line kit.

You can usually buy an adapter (maybe fuel miser brand of haig?) to fit in the tapped hole for the idiot light, then you can run the idiot light and the pressure gauge simultaneously.
