Jed, you are quite the mechanic.
Tom, Oh but I wish that were the case. The part I didn't tell you was it took me darn near two weeks to get the courage to tear into that system. I'm still not sure where GM's head was when they designed that.
Stuart, sorry I misunderstood the "tounge in cheek" comments.
My experience has been very near what you describe. When I originally posted about my block being cracked a couple of years ago, I can't tell you how many advised that I should just throw some JBWeld on it and paint it.
Sounds like your making progress Tom. Congrats and good luck. I'm anxious to hear you've got the problem resolved and have moved onto the next challenge.
As for me, I'm now working up the courage to tear into my dual point flathead ignition system, that I know nothing about.
