Seen an adapter, just don't recall seeing one for both sensors, perhaps more knowledgable member would know. I used regular threaded pipe about a 3", believe it's 1/4" and threaded one end into the block, then installed a small 't' fitting with the 't' leg facing up. Since the electric sensor is larger, installed it at the end of the 't' and the other sending unit screwed into the leg facing up. It does not interfer with changing the oil filter, and the total length puts it around level with the oil filter. Originally went with brass pipe for asthetics but found it tends to crack due to engine vibration; however, the 't' fitting is brass. Installed few years back with no problem.

Originally on the trucks with the extra gauges there was an adapter that screwed into the engine which has 2 outlets..one for the small idiot light sending unit which the flat slip on wire goes onto. The other style used a can for the electric gauge...the threads are the same as the threads on both of the sending units.
