There is already an adapter on the oil pressure sender. The autometer sender will DIRECTLY replace the stock sender with no need for adapters or otherwise. I just hooked one up the other day. Just unscrew the stock sender and install the autometer.
Important: Not using teflon paste or tape WILL result in an oil leak. Don't forget it.

On a AUTO equipped car the Starter motor blocks any access to the sender from under the car.

Update
I did mine from the top - No problem - the stock sender has a large hex on it (1 1/4" iirc) and just 1 wire to disconnect. Assemble all the spacers/ adapters first, then screw the whole mess back into the block and last conect the new capilary tube (for mech gauge) or sender.
New Mazda OEM one works like a charm!

Just did this myself after having messed with those oil filter sandwich adapters for a while. I needed to relocate my 1/8 NPT aftermarket sensor to the factory location. I used an "auto meeter adapter #2269" it is 1/8 bspt male end for the engine side and 1/8 NPT female for my sensor. Looks like the extension the factory sender comes with. Also tried my hand at making a kind of "how to" for it https://youtu.be/06CWSaHUD3M
