Seems to me like it is time for you to take a trip to the butcher, get a new tank for the BBQ, and invite all the local guys over for a wrenching party.
And the sooner the better.
On the other hand, my firebird project has been going on for over 25 years. What's the rush?

and one more thing....to the person(s) who think(s) (thought) that i was in over my head on this rebuild...i say poo on you (i don't feel like cursing publicly)...i WILL get this car back on the road...one way or another
but to everyone i made deals with on parts...i'm REALLY sorry. it's out of my hands.

Jake - i sympathize with your feeling of desperation - god knows i've been there a few times, too. but i sure am glad you're keeping it after all and giving it the old "gonna fix it no matter how long it takes" attitude.
