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.

__________________ thanks for the rply. any idea where I could get the Steel line for the oil guage? I have only seen copper at autozone. also the temp sender would one fit from a 350 8cyl?

Re: what oil and Tempriture sending units
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.
