I frickin' hate my car, its engine, the multiple carburetors I've gone through, and everything that goes along with it. I am more than halfway to selling the piece of sh*t. Yes, I am using "strong language." No, I don't care right now. :angry7:
I'm drinking tonight because I'm pissed.....

Dude I know how you feel!!!!!! I put my car away for a year after it gave me fits. I was so pissed I really wanted to sell it to the next person I saw for a dollar as long as I would never have to lay eyes on that miserable POS ever again! Whew! After a year of ignoring it I am back at it with a fresh outlook and its going well. Good luck to you.

Geeeez.... Do a search under my screen name for any posts titled Cuda Capers. I have 3 yrs. worth of posts describing every conceivable problem that could slow down a restoration. Body shop BS.... Engines blowing up.... hand to hand combat with headliners.... and yes, multi-carb issues. Been there, done, that, sold T shirts, and became a tour guide.
It's all part of the fun of being a Hobbyist. If this stuff was easy, everyone would be doing it. It takes patience, time, and money. Save your booze or dope money. Kids do stuff like that...
Welcome to the club.... your NOT alone! 8)

Hey Sharpie I have been there as well. I have removed my friggin Diff four times, because of bearings, I have had to play with the carbs over and over to the point I have had to walk away or risk damaging my car. That would suck all together. Best is to leave it until your head clears...could take a six pack of beers to do that.

Been there, done that, pulled the motor and sold the 73 Scamp. It needed too many things and I didn't want to do another total restoration. Sometimes it is good to start over but give it a few weeks then decide.
Well, I am happy to say I didn't drink myself into a stupor on Friday. I didn't even drink at all. One of my problems with the car is that I can't store it anywhere close. My parents have only half a garage, so the car sits on the street, staring at me. I need to get a car cover for it at least, so I don't have to think about it.
Broke my Craftsman ratcheting driver on Saturday morning while working on the car when I tried to take the advice of some here and on Moparts. On Sat. morning, it wouldn't even start. I actually still have the FOR SALE sign that I made for it that morning after breaking the tool.
I got some help from a local moparts member on Saturday afternoon, and after coming to the conclusion that I have an unknown vacuum leak that only hides itself once the car gets warm, I just decided to throw the choke back on so it'll balance out the A/F until it gets warm. Weve searched for the leak, but can't find it with a squirt bottle.
Anyway, the car runs now, so it's not wearing thin on my nerves. I don't really car what the car looks/sounds/feels like, as long as it runs. Once it's not running, it's a money pit paper-weight, and that wears thin on my nerves really good.
So I'm alright now. I can at least take it to a shop in the next town to see if they can track down my issues if I really can't find them. The best part about this weekend's fix though, is that I only had to spend maybe $20 on the temporary fix, not the $300-500 that others were suggesting. I want to do the $300-500 fix, but it's just not in my time-frame right now. Trying to pay off my credit card first.

I have had more frustrations with my car over the years... just walk away from it and go do something else constructive. Sooner or later you will come back to it. Reading manuals is a constructive thing to do... and ya learn stuff too. 
I have had my car 22 years only because I keep walking away from it.... but come back with better knowledge and now its pretty much done.
Good luck.
