Mark, George,
Thanks for the advice.
I had already renewed the oil pressure sender unit as previously I had no oil pressure indication and with the car being relatively new to me I had no idea whether the motor was good or bad. That is why I had installed the mechanical gauge to give some idea. Unfortunately I have no history of the car and what modifications have been done to the motor, as I said someone installed big bore headers, but the intake manifold was original cast iron, so your guess is as good as mine.
I tackled number 5. the headlights last night after posting and stripped out the lift motor and gearbox to find the motor in poor condiion and the primary lift gear disintegrated. I will pick up a gear from Larry Stock and have already cleaned up the motor and it runs fine now.
Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know how I get on with the rest of the issues.
