Ok, thanks to all the responses that I got the heater controls all work
flawlessly now (took the dash apart and worked them through with
lubrication).  The map light was...er....more pilot error.  I figured out
how the on/off switch actually works, and now it works just fine.  I have
ordered a set of those speed bleed valves -- I will get to that next
weekend.

I was reading that SAE90 is the oil used in the transmission and various
other parts -- can I purchase any type of SAE 90?

What oil filters do people recommend?  Currently have a Unipart model.  I
would like to see if there is a good oil filter than Canadian Tire stocks
(hey, they are close)

Is there an oil people recommend?  My Haynes book suggests SAE 20W/50 and I
was going to pick up a jug of Castrol GTX or something in that viscosity.

Next question -- I think that the water pump may be going.  Appears to have
a small drip on the underside of it near the pipe union at the rear.  Drip
only happens when the engine is running.

(geeze soon I will have irritated everyone with too many questions)
