1st update
I pulled the transmission and will be ordering the parts on monday to rebuild it.
The oil pressure sending unit leaks so everything from the motor back is covered in a combination of oil and dirt. The transmission was covered in about 1/2" of said oil mud. The removal definitely wasn't the highlight of my day. A can of engine degreaser and the pressure washer will make it look brand new again.

The carburetor needs to be rebuilt as the accelerator pump doesn't work anymore. I'm thinking about doing a 4bbl swap but that would eliminate any possibility of getting "good" gas mileage out of the car. I have to look into rebuild prices for the 2 bbl first.

The whole underside of the car is covered in the nasty oil mud and flaky crap and will be pressure washed to clean it up.
