cletis, how about that boat project now? That was sure a good excuse to get a new engine for the '56, and June can't be requesting some quid pro quo since you've got to get the boat running. Clever!
Man, don't you hate breaking off a tap? It's never a good thing and you were lucky to get it out with the extractor. I've had to resort more than once to taking a pin punch and slowly breaking it into little pieces until it was loose enough to get out.
Congratulations on the engine change,
Don
