I Havent Drivin The Old 86 Before On A Long Trip So My Question Is And Im Relying On The Stock Guages, The Oil Pressure At 55 To 60mph Is 61 Psi And Sitting At A Light It Drops To Around 20 To 21 Psi
The Coolant Temp Driving At Highway Speed Shows 187 To 192 Deg. But At A Stop Light I Creeps On Up To 224 Then The Fan Kicks In And Brings It Down To 205 Does These Readings Sound Right
Oh... The 86 Is All Stock..

That is were my 93 is, though my idle oil psi is usually 25-27.

All perfectly normal readings. Sounds like can be trusted with no worries. Next fill up, turn key until you hear the electric fuel pump humming. Wait a few seconds and then start.
