Dash is coming out, temp gauge and tach stop working. Im sure it's not a ground issue, and the tach worked funny when I got the car running and now it doesn't work at all. I also noticed yesterday the heater control plate cracked across the middle of it. The motor is leaking oil badly now. Not sure if I will have to pull it for a rear main yet or if it is a valve cover or the intake. I find no oil up high on the motor. Im hoping while the dash is out I can find an original dash bezel and replace the repro one. while it's out I will also get the radio working and finish installing under the dash lighting. Car only has 380 miles on it since I started driving it 3 years ago. I would drive it more if I wasn't leaking the oil under it.

Dash work
Motor oil leak
Might also put in a new wiring harness and fuse box while I have it apart again.
