I am planning on putting in the pressure sender this coming weekend. I've purcahsed the kit that comes with the line to get the sender away from the block, but after looking at it I was wondering what tool I am going to use to tighten the hose down with the sheet metal surrounding it? Maybe when I get in there it will not be as tight as it looks, but do you guys have any tips or tricks to tighten the hose into the block?

Careful with that thread sealer tape. First, this is a tapered pipe thread, which should usually not require any sealing tape. Second, the sender grounds to the engine through these threads, and sealing tape can insulate this ground, resulting in no reading.
