Question Oil Pressure Gauge

I want to install an oil pressure gauge but I have no idea how or of any places that do it here in So Cal. I am looking at the auto meter gauges which I seem to like the best. I want to get an electrical gauge. Any advice on how to pick one, install one? Easy, or let someone else do it? Also where does it connect to the block? I know I have a little warning light that will tell me when my oil pressure is low, so will that keep working or malfunction? Any help or comments will be appreciated.

Here is where I want to put it. Right below the handle, as much in the corner as possible.

you have two options you can get a little t fitting like i had done so you have both a gauge and the light or you can say screw the light and just hook up the gauge. my issue was the t fitting broke and is part of is stuck in there right now i have to drill it out and put the gauge sensor in and hook up the wire its really not hard but i'm going to say screw the light cause it only comes on at the last minute. if you don't want the light on by just hooking up the gauge just wrap in electrical tape so it doesn't ground out anywhere.
