1971 Warning Light Cluster Question

When I turn the key to the on position I see a warning light come on for oil pressure and generator but no light for temperature. Is this normal or should the temperature light come on also ?

It should come on when the switch is in the "start" position- while cranking.

Check for bad bulb after you first check if the bulb glows in the crank position of the key switch. Temp light does not come on with key switch in on position (unless engine is actually overheating). Also brake light comes on for bulb check in the crank position.
