Oil Temperature Gauge Picture Request.

[JMH82SC]

I’m looking for a picture of the stock non-numbered oil temperature gauge with the car stone cold and the key powering up the gauges. My gauges have had white faces installed by previous owner and with the key in the on position my oil temp is in the middle of the lowest thick hash mark and I think it should be flush with the bottom of this mark. I have included this picture of the gauge with power on and car stone cold.

You're splitting hairs.

But, since you asked, my temp is at the bottom of the hash mark and the druck is where yours is. They both go way down with the key off.

[Oh Haha]

Mine is the same way, JMH82sc although I do have the "box" on my guage.

My temp needle points at the bottom of the hash mark and the druck needle points right at the hash mark for 0.

Thanks to all! The main reason I ask is because the needle fell off during installation of faces and from what I understand it was put on with gauge removed from car. It might seem like splitting hairs but in this FL heat you need to be somewhat sure of temps. Looking at gauge that little bit makes what I was thinking low 240s in 100 plus heat more like mid 220s.

I always keep this image around to remind myself what the hashes mean on the oil temp gauge:



It has been 100*+ the past few weeks and I've seen my temps while driving be about 220 to 230. When I take it to the track I'll see it hit 250 at which point I shift up a few gears and take it easy letting the engine cool down.
