About to lose my mind...

Point taken. Sorry about that. It ran, but would shut down for no apparent reason. So, where do I go from here? I still have the old fly wheel. Now that you mention it, the drivetrain has been vibrating since then. I was told it was the super trans and I needed to quit whining. Can I get this flywheel balanced? Must I buy a new 1/2 ton clutch?

Ok: current plan. I still have my old flywheel and pressure plate, and I'll get them resurfaced. Hopefully, my new friction disk will fit. Then go to the stealership, and buy a crank sensor. Should I replace my bad idle control valve there too, or can I go NAPA? How's that?

Hey, y'all! Finally got it!
I pulled the engine to remove the 360 flywheel and install the freshly machined 318 flywheel. While I had the engine out, I installed Advance's sensor. It was making physical contact on both planes of the "corner" it should be setting in (the shoulder behind the friction surface, and above the notched sensor ring). I installed my new sensor, and it fit perfectly, standing off both surfaces by about a quarter inch. What a difference!! I also purchased a new cam sensor. I reused my new 3/4 ton friction disc and pressure plate, with no ill effects yet. I took my heads to be checked and cleaned, but they said one head had two cracks in it. I happened to have a spare pair around fron my parts truck (what a blessing THAT thing's been!!) and one of those two was fine. So, out of four heads I got two decent ones back. Reassembled, and runs like a champ. Passed inspection with flying colors. Thanks, everyone. Now, check my new post for my 4X4 blues!!
