Well, once it quit raining, I went out and installed the new 160 degree
thermostat and the new sending unit.  Took Molly for a drive.  The oil
light no longer flickers and it seems to have had a small effect on the
oil pressure, to wit:  when thoroughly warmed through, she pumps at 30
lbs at 900 RPMS.  However, if I let her sit and idle so that the temp
rises to above 175 degrees, she drops down to 25 lbs of pressure.  I
haven't adjusted the valve clearance yet, that's on tomorrow's list of
chores.
