Luray,

Attached below is a snapshot of the oil pressure gauge line connection point (red arrow) for your 216.

Your 216 would have originally had a mechanical oil pressure gauge, not a sending unit style of gauge.

More info is needed on what your looking to do (replacing the stock gauge, adding a non-stock gauge, etc.).

Hope this is helpful.

Dan
