What Do Your Gauges Really Say?

Looking at my 575M gauges the other day and noticed some interesting translations from metric to English measurements. Thought your oil temperature gauge had 20 deg F markings? Guess again, 120 deg to 230 deg (110 deg) is not divisible by 20. Actual markings are 18.333 degs each, so the gauge reads:
120.00 deg F
138.33 deg F
156.67 deg F
175.00 deg F
193.33 deg F
211.67 deg F
230.00 deg F
etc

Maybe your car is not as warmed up as you thought.

Aberration, right? Guess again because the water temperature gauge looks like 10 deg markings, but they are actually 8.75 degs each. So the gauge reads:
140.00 deg F
148.75 deg F
157.75 deg F
166.25 deg F
175.00 deg F
183.75 deg F
192.50 deg F
201.25 deg F
210.00 deg F
etc

Only one left and that is oil pressure. Looks like 10 deg F markings, but are actually 14 deg F each, so the gauge reads:

0 deg F
14 deg F
28 deg F
42 deg F
56 deg F
70 deg F
etc

Here are the actual gauges. Check for yourself.

DJW- Would look even better with a yellow or red tach face. They offered yellow on the Superamerica.
