Ran it for about 5 minutes tonight. No water in the oil. Looks like the radiator wasn't full of water, and that as it froze it expanded into the radiator. I think a longer drive may yield different results, but at this point I'm very optimistic.

The temp sender is sending crap to the gauge and the lower hose has expanded like most hoses do as they get old. So I'll replace the temp sender and lower hose this weekend...AND....put some antifreeze in it.

Now the engine seemed to be idling a bit high even after it warmed up. Is there any sensor for idle speed, or is that all computer controlled? I've got a TBI unit.
