White93z34 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 90-92 luminas had the temp/oil pressure gauge and 93-94 had the temp/volts. supposedly some late build 92's had the volts as well. Honestly I think the volts is far more useful in a 3.4 car then oil psi. helps you keep tabs on that alternator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertISaar Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 a volt meter is easier for me to install though. i think a voltmeter has to be the easiest guage to install, ever. i wonder if your car has the oil pressure sensor or switch? i'm assuming since there's no guage, just an idiot light, its probably just a switch...

Crazy K Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 ... you CAN swap clusters to get one that has an oil gauge... there is one single pin wire difference between the clusters... I have a write-up of the pinouts in the FAQ section... and then all you need to do is change the short oil switch to a long oil sender....

White93z34 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 yeah it kind of sucks that luminas could never get all 6 gauges. still irritates me even some 5 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckoftheGTP Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Personaly I want OIL pressure. The DOHC's leak oil. At least mine do. PLus its easier to install after market volt gauge then oil pressure IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I've suggested in all seriousness that someone with a lumina should have the oil gauge cluster and get a voltmeter that can fit where the gear indicator goes.... perfect for anyone with a floor-shift...

ManicMechanic Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Odd...My 1990 Lumina Euro Coupe had an oil pressure gauge and my 1991 Lumina Euro Coupe had a voltmeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Odd...My 1990 Lumina Euro Coupe had an oil pressure gauge and my 1991 Lumina Euro Coupe had a voltmeter. you sure? if the wrong cluster is put in, you will simply have no working oil gauge.

ManicMechanic Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Positive. I am not sure as to whom I sold the 1990s cluster to here...I want to say it was Grand Moff Joseph... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I keep kicking around ways to morph all 6 gauges into one cluster but have it stay 100% stock looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
