You need a 1/8' NPT female Brass T and a 1/8" NPT double male.
I did that on mine. Not much room back the with the distributor vacuum can in that space. Buy a handful of 1/8 pipe thread fittings and start improvising....
hard to get a clear pic. like SGBARRACUDA say's brass T with the stock sender on one side and my steel braided line, for the mech gauge, out the other side. if you use two sending units, and your out of room, you can have a short whip hose made to move one of the senders a few inches away.

I made a "T" out of some 3/4" hex stock that I tapped for the 1/8 NPT on each end and a port in the side. Works perfect and is unobtrusive.The increased height of the stack made it difficult to get a standard wrench on the distributor lock bolt. This was corrected by making a special stubby box end wrench.

Just the top one of there are two female holes on it. Most T’s have three female holes and you would use the second part in one of them to screw it into the block
10-4. All you need is the top one IF you have the clearance between where it screws in the block and the intake. If not you need one with 3 female and a bushing like the second picture. Maybe one that is 1 - 1 1/2” in length.
