That's a great looking 780 Bertone! I haven't seen one of those locally for years. I always though they had a resemblance to a BMW 5-series, like a late 80s / early 90s era.

Wow, that's quite the swing in temperatures and weather! 90+ F or a frozen hellscape! Didn't you used to live in the Pacific Northwest? Maybe in the Seattle area?

I also got in the 18mm tap and die set I from Amazon. It's cheap, but it did work!

I used the die on the 18mm crank bolt and I think it came out pretty well. Once back at the car I'll...

I personally don't think it is necessary to replace the crankshaft bolt (the large 27mm one). Unless of course if it is damaged.

I cannot comment on the flywheel bolts. If they are torque to yield...

Yikes, that looks like a lot of work. Perhaps I can get lucky with a tie wrap? I'll need to get back to the car to check out the connector.
