72SS,
I see you're new... welcome to our Chevy Chat. You're profile is pretty limited, so I'll just give you this suggestion here.
Many of us know a really good guy who owns a quality shop in Sacramento. He's a long time VCCA member. Dick Bertolucci. You could call him and tell him your troubles and he might have a recommendation for you. It's possible you're not too far from Sacto and you could have your car repaired there. But you could a least call Dick. Just a thought.....
Bill.
