well I'm not sure what contraption comes with the kit but your oil sensor should be an 1/8" npt fitting (unless you are me) so you can get an 1/8" npt fitting T and put the sensor in one side and the steel hose in the other (you may need a reducer to fit the hose) So the T would go into the block and the other 2 items would go into the sides of the T you can get these items at home depot lowes or some automotive stores

I think you would just need a 3/8" male with a 3/8" female T and the T being whatever size the oil line is.

No I'm pretty sure he will need 1 T fitting to go into the block then the oil line connects via a reducer (unless the oil line is 1/8" npt also)to one side of said T fitting. Then the oil sensor hooks into the other side of the t fitting. Now my install was a mess because the oil sensor is supposed to be 1/8" npt fittings but mine was like 1/2" npt so we had to get a big T fitting for the block and then reduce down to the size of the oil line on the one side and the sensor went right in the other side of the T.
