Good Score, she sounds very nice. The vac pump is an easy rebuild, just don't over tighten the screw, it doesn't take much. Why do you need a trunk seal? If its because the trunk is leaking its most likely the rear windshield seal. As to valve adjustment ..the bent tools are real handy but expensive, you can bend up your own. Fuel gauge is sometimes the sending unit under the first aid kit. Anyway when you start addressing these problems one at a time you can check the archives then ask the forum if you have a problem. Haynes manual is good for the basics, the CD can be had cheap on eBay. Block heaters are OK but getting that plug out above the starter can be a bear.... Your gona love worken on these cars. Oh .. the best upgrade I did on my pre "80s" cars was the fast glow plugs, you dont need a block heater with those, in western Wa anyway....check it out.
