Fred,
While it will be a while before I get to the BTV on my '55, I am grateful for your research into this issue. I too want to keep the original system in my Patrician. When your design is ready for testing, I for one, will be more than willing to "buy and drive" to test it out.
If I might offer one suggestion: I have a '75 Mark IV that has a loud, irritating buzzer that goes off when the engine overheats. I would have put it on the oil side of the circuit myself, but Lincoln didn't have the benefit of my experience.
Instead of, or along with a warning light, I might suggest an audible warning system like the Lincoln's. It would be unobtrusive for judging (though that is not a concern from my point of view) and attention grabbing for those who do not scan the dash without fail like my Father.
Just a thought....
