There are I'm sure a few different ways you can attach an oil pressure gauge depending on a few different desired effects. Do you want mechanical or electric? Do you want to maintain the factory light and buzzer or do away with it? Do you like having the rather large electric sender hanging onto the engine somewhere?
All the different ways and feelings a side, location should be well though out before doing the work. Attached to the filter bracket will give you oil pump pressure, call it system pressure like in a CIS fuel system if that helps. problem with that is that if the bearings start to wear thin or there is a blockage in the cylinder head starving say the camshaft, you will not know it untill too late. Many people don't care and use that location anyway, but I suggest using the location on the driver's side of the cylinder head. That location is at the end of the oiling system and will show a problem anywhere in the system.
where abouts is the oil way on the head?

On an 8v it is directly on the driver's side. If you face the water outlet on that side the port is at about the 10 or 11 O'clock position. From the factory there will be a low pressure oil switch screwed into that position. That is why you have to decide if you still want the warning system or not, because that will depend on just what parts you will need and wiring if any to be done.
