Mike, I know how you feel. I've been trying to get the 261 engine in my coupe going for 20 months now. Yesterday we got it started and the 20 minutes we ran the engine made me forget the past 20 months of gloom, despair, agony and pain. And, like you, I had to ask for some help.. from my nephew.
Someone here on the bolt has a tag/signature line that says: "never, never, never ever give up". Hang in there. I think I detect a slight smile/grin on your face. It does get better.
