Hello gentlemen, hope everyone is having a good week so far.
My '73 only has a temp warning light and I'd like to know that it is good before I push the car into regular use. I'm clearly struggling trusting the car absent gauges that give me the information I'm used to.... Pull and ground one of the leads? Thanks! |

Just to be clear...
The green light has nothing whatsoever to do with oil temperature. It is oil pressure. And if it turns on while the car is running, turn the car off ASAP or the car will turn itself off permanently. Zach |
