Ok as any fellow 94-95 gt owners know, probably more too, most of the instrument gauges are set up as follows " [ NORMAL ] ..... C [ NORMAL ] H .... etc. does anyone know what letters could be translated into what numbers? This is something that i have always wondered but never found an answer too. The gauges that do it are eng. temp, oil pressure, voltmeter, the ones i mainly wondering about are oil pressure and engine temp so if anyone knows this please post it!

By the autometer pillar pod and get some gages for it.

This is ours, except ours is a fox not a sn95

i was just looking for a ball park figure, i know that it would be the wisest choice to invest in a new set of gauges but thats not the most economical choice for me right now

the stock gauges are basically idiot lights with a needle they read after x amount, and below that set amount they dont read, for the most part.

I don't think the gages were that much, we got the autometer 3 set, it comes with oil pressure, temp and voltage, and they all come in a little 3 pod steel holder that can be screwed/bolted in the car. I think they were like $50-60. The pillar pod was just something we decided on at a later time.

I know that my temperature reading is between 201-205 degrees when my needle is between the N & O on NORMAL. But I don't know about the oil pressure.

Not a constant variable. Don't trust it with factory gages.
