Hi David, I believe there is no oil pressure indication in the dash on that car. The model that comes after it .. I had one, the 1959 ID-19 ... basically the same engine...and with all manual shifting and steering controls ( unlike the deluxe DS-19 ) had no oil warning light at all....'nuthin' ... just check the oil on the dipstick is the only 'indication' . and now we have modern cars with no dipstick . lol.
