Well time for an update.

Not a lot of work has happened in the last 2 weeks. However there have been some important discoveries. First we have located all of the keys, so that problem is solved. They aren't originals, but hey at least we have keys. Second after some pressure testing I am quite confident the block is not cracked. And, after talking to a grandson (my brother in-law) we may have found the source of the oil in the coolant. It is/was common practice to put a water soluble oil in the cooling systems of farm machinery to lube seals and prevent internal rust and corrosion. We are fairly certain that this same oil was used in this car.

Onward and upward...
