Regarding the electric oil/temp gauges:

Extremely old topic but I own the same car as Reyman (original post) did, so I can chime in a bit.

On my car, the oil pressure dial in the middle of the gauge was basically 60 PSI pressure (comparing to the mechanical gauge reading from the same place) so normal oil pressure was around 3/8. Likewise, a normal temp reading from the temp gauge is about 3/8, and in cold temps more like 1/4.

I mentioned this to Ross and he said that they tend to read low. I'd like to hear others' experiences on the accuracy of these gauges.

P.S. My electric oil gauge no longer works, IDK why. Will troubleshoot in the spring.
