At what point did I refuse a solution? Just because I rejected the idea of a return line? My car ran fine for years without one. I never once disagreed with anyone's comments so far. I aporeciate everyone's advice. I am in 100% agreement that the motor is trashed and needs to come out. Honestly, I think I am just going to take the engine to a scrap yard and put a 383 in it like it should have anyways. This 340 has caused me nothing but misery.
