Sounds good to me. I heard Dennis Polk once say "There is a big hole at 
the factory  in the floor, where they make 40's , 420' and  30's. When 
they drive them off the line the battery door falls into it never to be 
seen again". That makes as much sense to me as anything else.

The water temperature gauge doesn't work. The oil pressure gauge works after cleaning up some connections, but it only registers one pressure - there's no change whether it's idle or high-speed. So not sure it's accurate.  It's in the normal range  so not sure I should give this any priority.
