Nice little addition, nuisance when one continually sees *hood ajar*, *hood ajar*, *hood ajar*. Personally I can see if the hood isn't latched from the driver's seat.

Hey, bud! Yeah, rad shops will “rod” them out for you, but you can try putting some CLR/Zep in them to get rid of the rust. Mine sat for 15 years so that wasn’t an option for me. I can’t remember if the pump baffling on these is metal, but if it’s plastic, it may succumb to the highly acidic stuff you soak the tank with. If the tank was all metal on the inside, I’d feel perfectly fine trying that. You just have to be patient with it.

Coolant level sensors are usually on the radiator on the side not far from the fill neck. Has a funny sort of clip that attaches to the radiator instead of bolts or screws. Both my Supremes have a similar sensor in your pic around that same location and I was thinking it was for the airbag for some reason. Neither have a DIC, and are both female, so would that sensor still be on a non DIC car? No "Hood Ajar" lights on the instrument cluster either.

The oil pump drive doesn't seem to be leaking. LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE until it leaks. Without pulling the head, and removing the pump drive for a new O-ring, you're more likely to make this worse than better. If the oil distribution cover isn't leaking, I'd leave that alone, too. At least that one can be removed, cleaned, and the gasket properly replaced as-is. The oil pump drive can only be half-assed without removing the head.

P. sure that switch panel is broken. If I'm remembering right, it's supposed to have a little inset part of the screw hole where the head of the screw fits down into. Over the years people usually just put small washers on there, but it's not perfect if that's what you're going for. Unless I'm completely 100% misremembering it.
