350 swaped and temp and oil guage probs

ok got my 350 in and runnin good finally 2 things though.
1) coolent temp seems to be reading twice the temp that it is supposed to be.
2) oil pressure is pinned and doesnt move.
Are the sensorsat fault in the 350?? they worked fine in the 305 but I am using the 350 ones which is a 77 block thnks

you are using the '77 350 sensors for the gauges ??

If so change em out to the ones from the 305 and you problems should be solved.
