Does anyone know at what temps the red lights come on for the oil and water temp?

Sorry, I don't know the answer....and I'm shocked someone stumped me so easily.

That's a DARN GOOD question. Excellent question.
AFAIK, that's the first time I've seen that question asked here.

That would make a GREAT Corvette Trivia question.

Here's another one....

Let's throw the voltmeter in there too and get that answer.

Are the 'set' or 'trip' points the same from year to year until the newer dash came out?

Once, my red light for the coolant came on at 265 degrees. The low oil pressure light will come on at 5 psi. I think the oil temp light once came on at 280 degrees, not sure on that one.

The battery light comes on when the alternator is making less than 12 volts.
