Pressure gauge port on the exhaust side of the motor.

As Steve said, oil pressure pickup point is located on crankcase down below exhaust ports. There is a round plug that uses an O-ring to seal to crankcase and it has a metric hex socket drive that you use to remove this plug. You will need to replace this plug with an adapter that looks like one in link below, but off top of my head I am not positive this is the exact one to use. Either way, the adapter is also equipped with an O-ring to seal to crankcase and port is 1/8" NPT female that will allow you to screw in the fitting for an oil pressure line.

Hope this helps!  :)

Here is the correct fitting as listed on Randy's RPM Racing website. Randy is often on this forum as well and is a great guy to deal with.
