Subject:      Gratitude and success

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question. I got many, many responses, all helpful. Is this list great or what? Special thanks to Arlyn Strano, of Strano Foreign Car, an extremely friendly lady. (This is the same Strano Foreign Car listed at the top of Muir's recommended parts places list).

here's the success story: For those who don't remember, my 76 was leaking like a mother, under the driver's side, around the oil filter. So it turns out to be the oil pressure sending switch. $6.50 (expensive, another FLAPS had it for 3.90, but they were closing before I could get there). Had to widen the hole in the cooling air duct a little to get the socket down in there, but mission accomplished.

To those who suggested a leaking oil cooler: you were right, but that's not the majority of the oil. And I am most grateful yall were wrong :).

Maggie rides another day, Eric
