Guess that at times there are silver linings to those clouds out there. Glad injuries look more pride than physical (even though stiches in the tounge sucks.)
Yes we're kinda used to that in my family I guess growing up with a junkyard and a Body shop we never had anything without a loss it's just the business end of our lives
Well guy's looks like I'm screwed again if I don't do it myself it doesn't get done no matter how much i pay someone earlier in the week I overnighted my carb to the carb guy because he said if I did I would have it today. So I call him this morning and get. Oh no maybe wendsday.....this doesn't work for me I have a guy meeting me Tuesday night to do the trans and gears and wendsday my truck is probably not going to be mine anymore. And do I really want to tow my car 160 winter miles on my open trailer with no carberetor on it? I'm so screwed if this is how successful people do bisness I'm going to do great because I really don't want to screw anyone!
Come on, Clutch. What kind of self respecting Gbody owner doesn't have a couple spare Qjets on the shelf?

All's going to work out my brother has a restored in box 69 Hurst Olds carb I can borrow just not shore I want to that's stuff is a little to rich for my blood. My cousin also said he has some stuff laying around up there so I may just tape the intake closed for the trip
You could always just stuff some rags in the intake, or if it's clean, duct tape the hole up.
Well I went to my brother's tonight and there's no way I was making that carb work it was fully restored so I didn't want to modify it there were no provisions for automatic TV cable and it was divorced choke we did find a carb kit missing the bottom gaskit in the shed so I took that hopefully I will get lucky digging threw the old stock up there
