1) Arrow #1. Crankase ventilation outlet. Since there is no original carburetor, what options do I have? Do I just plug the ventilation outlet?
You won't want to plug the crankcase ventilation. What you're looking at is actually the inlet air to the crankcase ventilation system. The Plymouth/Dodge small block flathead sixes have the crankcase outlet on the opposite side of the block, towards the rear, which is normally plumbed into the intake manifold on an M37 (on civilian applications, it just had a "road tube" open to the atmosphere, pointing down towards the pavement - no emission controls!), through a shutoff valve for fording.
You could just leave that port open on the oil fill tube, but if you can't re-connect it to the air cleaner side, you should at least put some sort of baffle or filter to prevent dirt and water from getting into the crankcase.
2) Arrow #2. With a 12V system, what oil pressure sending unit I can buy and install? For sure I want to have a working oil pressure gauge.
I'm not versed with the 12v conversions, but someone here will know of a 12v sender that works.
