We get a lot of that kind of thing here. Everyone recommends against what the OP wants to do but they don't want to hear it.
Anyway, the best advice I can give the OP is to sell the CK headset and use the money to buy something proper for your bike. Nashbar has a Ritchey 1" threaded headset for $22. Look here:

Selling the CK should even let you come out money ahead.
