The amber stuff is glue from the back of the door skin probably was holding the fiber optic cable that goes to the lock cylinder.
I hope the picture below helps.

Holy Cow! I remember that it's funny that you mention it, although my dad taught me young about it. He wouldn't take his cars in to get them checked instead I remember having to drain the radiator in cold weather (not freezing yet) and filling it up with fresh fluid. I wasn't sure why we did it until later because for some reason or another we would add distilled water to the radiator over the summer because it would overheat or something making it more diluted.
When I had my 67' Fastback I continued to do the same thing every year for a long time up until 1998 when I sold it (Biggest mistake of my life)

The OEM MAF sensor was a Japanese sourced part, pretty certain Hitachi made it for GM. Which is not to say the one you have isn"t faulty, or that it isn't an aftermarket replacment.
Oh okay I didn't know that thank you for the info. I will have to check it out maybe it is faulty.

I plan on taking an in depth look at some of the serviceable parts since I found out that when I removed my MAF sensor and it said Made in Japan on it. I think this may be what has been causing my intermittent loss of power when I used the overdrive.
The previous owner use to take the car in to a random shop and I think they put foreign parts on it.

Where I worked we normally would take the time to put our tools back in the toolbox at the end of the shift. The company furnished the (expensive) tools and they liked them to be locked up at night. Machinists weren't allowed to clean up oil or anything on the floors so putting the tools away allowed the laborers to come in on the second shift and clean everything up for the next day. I'm pretty much that way at home about putting my tools away. Old habits are hard to break.
I too had a similar workplace except we had to supply our own tools or buy them through the company with a discount, so we either put our tools away or they might not be there the next day
Most everyone had Kennedy Boxes and tools or a mix of them and Snap-on, but I couldn't afford such a thing so I made my own out of 1/8" steel and Powder-Coated it Black and put my Craftsman boxes on top of it. Later on I made a wooden box that now sits on top of it in the garage.

First of all let me say that "I Love Tools" I also have Craftsman from back then and have to agree that they were much better than now. Every year it is very difficult not to buy a new tool and not just for Christmas. Many years ago when I worked as a machinist I got a 1/2" drive set of Black Hawk, I am not sure of the quality because they were so shiny that I never used them ... HAHAHA!
This year my wife actually bought me a Creeper seat tool chest with 3-drawers I was surprised, she must know how much I enjoy tools and stuff like that.
