If you have the part number from GM, go to this site and do a parts search.

12 you can use a tube and elbow, tap one side of the elbow. The other you are on your own. Its basically a hex head fitting with one side shaved on an angle, and then they put a hole in the side of that. All the holes are 1/8" NPT.

Read the text on your picture. What are you trying to do?

1/4"NPT
You can use a reducer to 1/8" if need be. Its a common fitting.
Run a tee off that, run your sender and autometer sender.
