Finishing up on restore of interior of my '74 - 2.0 with stock D-jet.
Factory center console (w/3 gauges) is back in place and hooked up. Question is; when the key is turned on, the needle on the oil temp gauge comes to life (flickers) but after that never travels past the low end white mark, even after a hard drive. Is this normal? What do you guys recomend for a numbered replacement gauge? Any from VDO? Thanks in advance. |

Is your thermostat hooked up? Mine isnt and it takes me sometimes 30 minutes or more to see normal oil temps.
