1957+ gauge and idiot light info | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Is there somewhere I can find a photo or drawing accurately showing 1957 + ( I think there was a change after mid year) gauges and indicator lights, and calling out what each light does?

Donating members can download the VS Owners Manual that has gauges and lights depicted. It's at RESOURCES then LIBRARY.

This might help -

Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. I need information on and to see the gauges and lights for a genuine Porsche 356 Speedster, not from a replica.

Pictures of my April/June '57 gauges, and the differences between the pre/post mid '57... Limited to the combi gauge.

Lights in combi gauge- red = oil pressure, green= alternator

lights in tach- blinker = worn out green, high beam= blue, red= I currently have it connected to oil temp sensor that lights up at 230C.

hope this helps... The 356 registry has details on the different tacks used with different engines/displacement sizing...
