'76 Corolla

Picked it up last night. The body is fair, interior is bad, and the motor is good. Today I changed the oil, brake fluid, clutch fluid, and gave everything a good look over. It's got a misfire, which I'll get onto eventually. I'm having trouble finding out about these cars. I'm interested in suspension, and possible motor swaps (or if I can make the 2TC worthwhile). Kinda leaning towards a 2TG at the moment. Aside from that, my only question is how do I turn off the "Change Oil" light?
