i can't seem to get oil to come out of the oil line in my 01 EX I've got it tapped in to the oil sending unit?!?!?!?... however i can't get any pressure on a gauge ....tried several gauges so i know thats not it

specify which line

quick easy way to find restriction is to start removing stuff starting with the line, then one adapter at a time till you find oil pressure. Im guessing one is restriciting it

try this....

Take the line completely off, but leave the fitting screwed into the back of the block. Start the car, then after 2-3 seconds, shut the car off.

If you see oil on the ground, then you dont have a restriction there. If you DONT see oil on the ground, then you have some major problem.

Just to make sure, you removed the oil pressure sender (right above the oil filter) and inserted a T fitting and screwed the pressure sender back in..... right?
