I can be impulsive... depends on the amount of work involved. :)  As I
mentioned late last night... I have a tendency to want to follow out ALL
paths before I choose any of 'em... like on the trail, I hike an unkown fork
a little ways before I commit to driving down it... and if there are two
questionable routes, they both get hiked... 

>probably would have just said that it was a good learning experience.

Something like that.  Ya gotta start somewhere... 

The good news is, I can put more effort into getting the transmission and
the rest of the exhaust out tonight... I'd really like to have the 304 all
but pulled on Friday night.. 

With some luck, I think I could have the '77 running again by Saturday
night... which would mean I can enjoy some of this weekend. ;)

Naturally, I'll have to take some pictures - "Tom's first motor swap"..
maybe mom'll find a spot in my baby book for it... 

As always, many thanks to those that know better and share their wisdom.
