In 1978 there is not a reset. the oil light means you are low on oil.

I have 1978 cadilac coupe deville won't shift after adding lucas transmission oil in it

Sounds like you need to drain all the oil out and check for particles in the oil. Some of the new oils have a "cleaner" in them and will loosen debris in an older tranny which will block ports in the tranny. If so... try flushing the tranny with a cleaner availble at most Auto stores. Ask the dealer (preferable a older one who knows about older cars if this will work)!

Chevy nova

Hi looks like your head gasket is gone, check if oil in water or water in oil, oil will go grey in colour, and open rad, when cold, check for signs of oil. But not good symptoms, sorry!

How do you get to the oil sending unit on an 87 Chevy Nova?

By the oil filter. Your first response was very good.

1987 Chevy Nova Speedometer is bouncing around like crazy + making a LOT of noise. Is it just the cable that needs to be replaced or is there another part somewhere?

It would be the cable. You can try pouring some oil down the cable cover. That should clear up the noise and may smooth out the jumping. If it doesn't smooth it out then the cable will need to be replaced because the ends are getting worn.

If you are having trouble finding a new cable then call your local cab companies. Taxi meters used to run on a cable and the place they got those cables done at likely still has the tool to make cables with. Hope this helps.
