OK, that makes it official.  I will now go back to the drawing board with
my flashing coolant level light and make it work...A testimony like that
one...who can argue with that?  Though I do monitor my coolant temperature
gauge closely, I could miss it as it goes HOT..then goes back cool (because
all the coolant is gone and it is reading nothing...)  Saw that behavior
when I blew a coolant hose..and then blew the headgasket...

Likely a function of it being converted to the I-4 motor..I tried and tried
to get that sucker to stop flashing...Until I finally took out the whole
clock and made a nice little ovoid piece of black electrical tape.  Put that
right over that bulb and re-assembled the instrument in the dash.  You can't
even see that black tape in there, and the light?  Probably still flashing,
but who cares?
