1985 Chevrolet Fleetbed SB project.

I am converting an old C10 Custom Deluxe 4.3 V6 to a 350 V8 and want to swap from the original idiot lights to a stock gauge (no tachometer).

I have swapped the correct sending unit for oil pressure and water temperature into the truck. When i tried to plug in my old sacraficial gauge set nothing worked as I hoped it would. the temp and oil both pegged out and the blinkers are definately not right.

Can anyone lend some insight to sorting out the wiring for this swap?

Thank you,
