Same as a 6?Keeping in mind that all gauge are different as are engines, anything consistant is good!50-60lb (think the book says 40-60?) at 50mph and 10-20lb on hot tick over. Not like my engine which gives about 30lb at 50mph if you're lucky and flashing disco lights at tick over... :B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanD Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I have a dual oil pressure and water temp gauge. Easy to fit, nothing irreversible and you can swap the black painted bezel over and paint the bulb green to match the other instruments.

uksnatcher Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Second the dual gauge, very accurate and instant water temp (measured in boiling pan of water before installing) and convenient oil pressure all in one hole.The bulb wont fall off unless its been damaged at some point. its a well made Smiths instrument.Preserving the dash was my thoughts so haven't molested it, heres mine:ferny wrote:50-60lb (think the book says 40-60?) at 50mph and 10-20lb on hot tick over.

aar0sc Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Driver's eye view of an oil pressure gauge fitted to the passenger side dash thingy: Aa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 How about this, Alex? I've had it a couple of years and finally put it in.I may have found the issues for the oil pressure (unlikely) and fuel gauge at the same time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
