I love a good revival story. Actually cool to see this thing back on the road. IMO, skip the RRFPR band-aids, and jump into some kind of standalone. For cheap you can get a speeduino, which has plenty of shortcomings, but is leagues better than band-aided setup that will blow up your motor.

The light flickering issue is caused by the map light (Where I think I tied in the wiring for the visor lights). The little copper contact is old and moves when you hit bumps. It did it when I drove it and I just never got around to fixing it. =D

As far as leaks go, there were none when I drove it. The oil pump (which was new when the engine was built) is supposed to have a dowel that covers a hole where the front wheel drive dipstick would go. I was missing that dowel so you will notice copious RTV plugging that hole (I know, terrible fix).
All of the other seals were new and have less than 5k miles on them, so driving may revive them. Let Preston know that I give you my blessing to get my phone number from him if you need to text me with any questions!

Cool to see a revival. I'm always hoping I'll stumble upon an old thread about my car at some point. Good luck solving those issues and getting back to boost!
