are you going to run an electric gauge? I ran a mechanical because the stock is electric and it always broke on me

Run a mechanical guage, Autometer is very good... You don't need a sending unit, the sending unit converts mechanical to electrical... Use copper tubing as Pony Guy said (plastic is cheap and tends to burst, hence, oil all over the inside of your car)...
