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 |

I missed the sarcasm angle, running around doing 100 things at once and, well, I just missed it. This kind of brings me back to the original question, which is with a stock car that doesn’t have the appearance package there really isn’t a way to have early warning that the car is thermal profile is unhealthy. |

Very possibly because they were built to a price. Also, the Bugs never had them, nor the Buses. To some people, the temp gauge is just one more thing to worry about. Though I'm a fan of knowing what is going on in the engine, so I like having a gauge... --DD |
