New 460 owner / 79 f250 with qustions

I picked up a 79 f250 someone put in a 460 i think its a 1973..
its a good truck but it needs to be cleaned up.

the temp and oil pressure sending units are not hooked up and working.

What sending unit do i need so they will work with my instrument gauges?
i have the idiot light but i want to swap out the panel to one with the gauges.

thanks

I'm not sure about the sending units on those older motors, but you want a pre-72 or an 88-97 timing set. I'm not sure if you will get a double roller set if you order the older ones, so I would get one of the newer sets.
