I’m looking for an oil pressure sender that bolts to the block of my twin cam. Needs to be the electrical type to mate to my 66 GT gauge. Also looking for a temperature sender, same as in picture. Lastly, for now, an interior mirror for the Mk1. Thanks.

Original Mk1 GT canister oil sender units are almost impossible to find new.

One solution is to purchase a comparable type. I've installed a 60's Ford SMP-PS60 with an adapter to my MK1 GT. Oil pressure reading is 6-8 pds less than the original PS80 unit. See picture.

I have a temp sender that will fit without the adapter as shown in your picture.

After market mirrors are on ebay that are close to the original but in chrome.
A 105E mirror was also used on the early MK1.

Canister oil senders are on ebay also available new in England on ebay straight fit.

You would need to purchase a brass hex adapter: 1/4"NPT to 1/8" NPT M
on ebay or hardware store.

Picture for an early 1500 GT sender for the cyl head you pictured.
