The gas gauge may free up after it gets driven awhile. If it doesn't, 
I can rebuild it, and send the overflow kit back in the same box.

Sounds like a nice car. How's the rust? If the body is sound, that's 
a very desirable year. The 1970 case, with the larger oil pump and 
passages, is a nice upgrade.

Keep us posted.  ;-)
