Thats an aerial socket for a radio

Oil pressure switches will be left hand side of the engine as you look at it from the back. Low pressure switch is underneath between the pushrode tubes, so you.might have to remove tinware to see it, Should be a black switch. If you have a high pressure switch it will be below the water pump pulley...

Is the ground strap on the nose of the gearbox intact?
Check the spade terminal and the wire that come from it on the starter motor if thats damaged/corroded could cause issues as well.

If you have a late cooling system that is.

Could have been bent by pushing the lower arm down to fit bushes without loosening off the rod..maybe?

I'd give the carb a proper strip down and into an ultrasonic cleaner. Clear out all the ports with an airline, all new gaskets. Make sure the float isn't sticking.. jets clean and correct sizes.. Ive now got like 4 pierburgs plus bits sitting around (ones a brosol) I had the opportunity to get a web...

Buy new cork gaskets give them a thin smearing of grease all around and fit into the covers then put the covers back on. If the bailing arms aren't applying enough pressure it can cause them to leak a bit too. They probably not been off forever and the arms more than likely gonna be stuck with grime...

The foam will have long left this world, or whats left of it will turn to dust the second you look at it

The foam kit makes a big difference if you've fitted it right.
A couple of stanley blades or perhaps a very short thin hacksaw blade and about 40 mins of your life to separate the box is easy enough.. if I recall brickwerks did the clips?

Oil pressure light will come on with low pressure. You'll have two switches, the low (black between the pushrods) and high (blue/grey? under the water pump pulley). Check the wires aren't loose or damaged.

What oil is in it?

Looks like the oil pump cover plate.

I guess you have a syncro? 
If its only when moving could be more like something to do with a worn CV or propshaft UJ? Maybe VC?? but the syncro lot might be able to assist more.

the LED isn't duff is it?
