Is it a mechanical, or electric guage? If it's electric, NAPA has a good selction of pressure sending units. Other than that you would just need wire.
If it's mechanical, you need a hose from the engine to the guage. I would not advise that you use one of the nylon tube kits, they're not legal at most tracks anyway. I use braided teflon hose for my guages, most speed shops like VIc Hubbard should have that.
You would need a 1/8npt male to -3 adapter for the block, a 1/8npt female to -3 fitting for the guage, whichever angle hose ends you thing would work best, I usually use straight ends, and whatever length hose that you need to make it work, 6 feet should be plenty.

I just bought this same kit. I bought mine in -3. I still needed to buy additional 1/4 to -3 fittings, but its a pretty nice kit. Do NOT buy the plastic tube kit.

I don't have the catalog handy, but it's in the guage section. They have 3 different kits with different lengths of hose, I would get the 6ft kit.
I also realized that these kits come with -4 hose instead of -3. I have heard that -4 is better because the guage will react faster.
