what oil and Tempriture sending units

I have a 70 Chevy c/10 that I am converting from dummy lights to gauges. I need some help with what oil and Tempriture sending units would I have to get in order to fit the 250 straight 6cyl. I have only seen them for small and big blocks . Do they make something I could use to make this happen on my 250 6cyl? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks Ralph

Re: what oil and Tempriture sending units

The oil pressure is a mechanical gauge, just run an oil line to the engine, steel is best, with a coil or two in it for vibration like factory, the temp sender should be the same as any small block with gauges.

Hunt around, someplace will have steel line, but copper is better than plastic, copper can crack from vibration over time. Sender for a 350 should work. Check parts board, someone may have all the parts you need.
