One question, is that an oxygen sensor on the bottom of the exhaust manifold where the exhaust tube bolts on?

I'm sure someone is curious. Yes, the O2 sensor hole on the later manifolds is compatible with the 02 sensor in the Hesco MPI kit and the Howell TBI kit. This lets you install a multiport fuel injection intake manifold and the sensor without disturbing your existing exhaust system.

Sorry to hear you're in that situation, Bill. You'll miss the car as soon as you sell it. I almost hope it doesn't sell and you're able to get to the funeral from another source of funds.

this will be my last posting on the build of the wagon because here in a few hours it will take on new ownership.  looking back at what i started with i am proud of the wagon and i have no regrets in selling it because I enjoy building cars rather than owning them.  I might add a few pictures of the sale a bit latter
