Stephan 'Bolter S Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 34 Ontario, Canada	Well, our '56 3200 is finally on the road! I don't have an owners manual, and am not sure about how to read the stock oil pressure and temperature gauges. The gauges are simply 3 white dots. Where should the needle normally be, and at what point should I get concerned? At what point do I panic? Can anyone advise if the 3 white dots correspond to specific psi/temperature readings? Thanks! Stephan
