need help installing ROM

Just to clarify, this is my first attempts at rooting a phone.

I've successfully tried several of the custom ROMs and while there are some things I like about them I've decided I really like the look and feel of the stock ROM. I downloaded one of the debloated and deodexed ones from the list. However, these are tar files and not zip so they don't install like the others I've tried. I tried using some instructions I saw on how to put your phone back to stock, but I just used the debloated file instead. Well the Samsung software didn't like that and for some reason Odin fails when trying to install from there. So at this point I'm stuck. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

That should install from Odin. Are you getting a particular error from odin when you flash it?

This is the error I receive when trying to flash with Odin.

<ID:0/003> Can't open the specified file. (Line: 1815)
It sounds like the file may be bad. Have you tried redownloading it?

OK, next newbie question. I thought LeanKernel and PBJT were for Froyo and this is GingerBread. Are they interchangeable?
No. You'll need to use either imoseyon's repacked kernel or imnut's Infinity kernel.
