Thanks to all of you on this site so gracious with your good advice. Because of it, I believe i've solved the electrical problem (bad ground) and, most critically, I was successful in removing a broken head bolt stud with the help of a local, veteran welder, patience, heat, kroil, and the welded-nut technique recommended by members.
Its nice to have so much knowledge and experience available.
Sincerely, R. Rogers
