Sorry to hear of the problems on your oil leaks, I also ran into the same problems on my engine build recently. First was the oil pump, I replaced the gasket for a better one and that fixed it. Then the seal on the flywheel was also leaking, replaced it and that also cleared it up.

On those thick gaskets for the manifolds I also had problems with them. I tried them first on my carburetors but they leaked air. I replaced them with the thin type and no more air leaks. Hopefully you will be out on the road again soon my friend.

Thanks, Pedro. I hope that taking my time will lead to good results.

Seems to work 99% of the time, with just occasional resistance if the key is not straight.

Door lock re-installed. Once I get some duplicate keys made and check them, I will complete the door interiors.

Time to get my "new" dual oil pressure system installed. I got some M10 spacers in steel and aluminum, in different thicknesses. Since I can't screw the brass T-fitting in all the way (and keep clearance for the stock sensor in the side hole) I need to use a spacer so I can get a tight and rigid connection with some stand-off.

After some test fits, including with copper washer seals, I decided I needed a thinner washer. I got out my ancient supply of brass shim stock.

Here's my thin brass seal washer. That goes on the T-fitting, along with a 4mm aluminum spacer.

With some Permatex #1 on all surfaces, I was able to get the T-fitting tight facing the right direction. And then I installed the stock sender with another dab of Permatex.

Everything looks good, so time to start putting the engine topsides together. Here's the front right sheet metal duct.

I made a shorter jumper cable for the stock oil pressure sensor.
