    Does it stink like fuel? Is it running ok besides the idle issue?

    Recommendations while tearing down for valve job?

    Having done this job several times before, I recommend pulling the motor. It's only a few more bolts, and working bent over the fenders/cowl is such a PITA.

    Coolant Hose Popped Off the Thermostat

    I wouldn't over think this one. Replacing radiator hoses used to be very common. I would replace the hose and move on.

    Fuel economy C10 with carb

    If you haven't tuned the new edelbrock you are leaving a lot of power and mileage on the table. Also timing with vacuum advance will make a big difference.

    Installing a New Exhaust System Including Headers

    Summit branded parts are usually very poor quality. I have had luck using a ratchet strap to pull on headers to move them around. Just beware that the shaft will move around in every direction, not just up and down.

    Finally got a new mig welder

    I find the cheap ones do the bigger stuff ok but make a mess of anything smaller than 12-14 gauge. You really need a good welder for body work.

    Surface rust. What are the best practices?

    I would stand that bed up and sandblast it. It will clean up fast. I wouldn't worry about warping it. That rust will blown right off.

    Press-in rocker arm studs migrating up.

    If the studs were pulling out there would definitely be some new valvetrain noise along with it. I believe you are seeing the effects of mass produced parts.
