How come my points in my distributor burns up as soon as i turn the key switch on ?

the guage has a sending unit on the engine. generally they are cheap and easy to change. if it doesn't bother you, just throw one on it. if the problem persists, it could be a thermostat, or a radiator cap, or bubbles flying around in the system, or low coolant..lots of possible problems. need more symptoms.

How 2 get of rid of spilt oil in boot of car?

you need a new thermostat in your engine

Whats the deal with the new high performance 4-strokes?

First you have to establish that the sending unit is working properly. Measure the resistance using a VOM. If its just the guage that is not working properly its not a big deal. Bear in mind that with todays alloy engines they do not take well to overheating. In many cases if the engine actually overheats its easy to blow a head gasket, warp a head and create a host of other problems that you really do not want. With a vehical that age it would easily cost more to repair the results of overheating than the vehical is worth.

Oil pressure, or water temperature?
There is no oil temperature gage on that car.
