Factory gauge questions

Does anyone know the actual numerics to the factory water temp. and oil p.s.i. gauges on the 67-72 pickups. They just have the marks or slashes if you will. Mine seem to operate in the "normal" zone but I would just like to know more precisely.

Re: Factory gauge questions

Oil gauge is 15# increments unless it is from a bigger truck. Standard 60 pound gauge, or 80 pound if from a bigger truck. (c-40-c-60) Not sure on the temp gauge...

Re: Factory gauge questions

i think there's too many variables on the temp guage. Only true way to know what it is telling you os to hook up a mechanical guage and compare readings.
