Sounds about like things always go for me too man! Except with the EFI, it is about 1 step forwards, and 12 steps back, lol

I'd guess that your pass side manifold is warped... You can build or buy a spreader tool to get em back on, or go find some manifolds from a 73-80ish truck, they don't seem to warp as bad as the new ones.

As far as the plug goes, I can feel you on that one too... I wound up having to drill it out, and re-tap the hole.
