Copes 71 Dart Swinger Rattle can resto. (Lots of picks not for dial up)

Arrgh...

Here's what I found when i went to pull the thermostat housing.



The bolts are froze tight and I fear they will shear. I've been soaking then for the last day and a half with PB Blaster. (A decent penetrating oil)
Seeing as I'm broke and don't have the cash for the housing, easy outs, thermostat and gasket. I used plan B, I poked the thermostat with a screwdriver and now it seems to be freed up.....

Oh well so much for that plan.

I bought a "Core" 360 the other day and while I was moping around the garage worrying about shearing the housing bolts I noticed this.



This is a electric oil pressure sender right? Do you think I can save a few bucks and use this with my (Electric) Auto Meeter Oil pressure gauge?

While I'm on the gauges the tach now seems to be working?,.... Not sure why I did not change any thing, but now it appears to reading true..

Here's the completed new gauge cluster, All Auto Meeter Ultra Light Sport Comp gauges.



A new rattle can can update on the outside.
She got a new stripe and some shine on Her shoes.
I also started removing some of the over spray off the windows courtesy of the previous owner.



Thanks for looking.
