Some U20 water neck spacers have more than one tapped hole.  I put a mechanical 
water temp sensor in the race car in the water neck spacer.  The oil pressure 
and temperature are measured mechanically at the remote filter mount.  It has 
four ports.  Two are used for inlet/outlet and the other two for pressure and 
temperature sensors.

On the U20 I tapped the pressure hole in the block to accept an NPT fitting.  I 
used an aftermarket mechanical gauge and disconnected the OEM one.  The factory 
gauges are not very accurate.  The tach is way off.
