where to get an oil pressure sensor

where get i get an oil pressure sender/sensor for a 91 RS maro?

Also is there a mech gauge that can just be put on the block: sensor gauge and all in one spot on the block without routing into to instrument panel or console? I know this sounds stupid because you would have to open the hood to know the pressure but it seems much easier

Oil pressure switch

it would be more time comsuming to "rig" up another gauge for oil pressure than using the OEM replacment sending unit.the hardest part is that it's a little ocward to get too.
