340 oil filter adapter questions

I have the elec oil sending unit on my engine for my gauged cluster. I also want to add a mech gauge on the car.
Can I use the oil filter adapter to add the mech gauge line in the area marked here?
There is a pipe plug with square end , same as in this photo. I can not get a rachet to fit that square slot. Any suggestions?
