    Your engine is a relatively low horsepower 350 Chevy small block. Check THIS WEBSITE

    You will get different opinions about the location of the water temperature sensor. I prefer the intake manifold, and have been doing it this way for 40 years. Read THIS ARTICLE and see what you think.

    I have always installed the oil pressure gauge sender in the block on the driver's side (LH drive cars) just above the oil filter. Others like the port by the distributor. In my opinion, either will work.

    I prefer AutoMeter gauges, but that's just me. They usually come with 1/8 NPT (National Pipe Thread) and an adapter from 1/8 to 1/4 NPT. The adapters in your link don't look right to me. NPT fittings don't have washers because the threads are tapered and tighten by compression.
