coolant sensor and oil pressure switch question

hey I have a question I have a block from the mid 70's and I need a coolant temp switch/sender"goes on the bottom passenger side of the block" and an oil pressure switch "goes on the driver side of the block above the oil filter". I dont know where to get these, cuz the guy at autozone couldnt find the right coolant temp switch/sender and when I got the oil pressure switch, it hooked up the way it should but it looked smaller than the stock one, and the part that was supposed to thread into the block is to big for the hole thats there.....what am I supposed to get, or does anyone know what I should do,they are for my 88 tpi system thats going on my car

Pop open a summit catalog and order the sending units from there. Alot easier than trying to tell the dummys at Azone that you have a 70's engine in an 80's car.

From: out of my mind; be back in 5 minutes....
Car: 1989 Firebird Formula
Engine: Internal Combustion
Transmission: Completed
Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
The one on the passenger side of the block, near the starter is the knock sensor.
The coolant sensor for the gauge goes into the driver side head, and the one for the fan switch goes into the pass side head.
