The oil presure and temperature sensors are both one wire sensors so I just moved them from the old motor to the new one and they screwed right in. The speedo has a gear driven sensor in the transmission so that still worked. And the other two gauges weren't connected to the engine at all. So the only gauge that doesn't work right now is the Tach. One of my friends has a tach he is getting rid of that he is gonna give me so that'll fix that and then all the gauges will work.

Ya. It's the only air filter I have right now. It's not that dirty, it's just dirty looking...if you know what I mean. I'm gonna get a K&N once I get some money together.

There's heat. No AC though. Heater hoses or on the left of the carb
