    leaf spring center bolt height Q

    The Dana S60 housing is way stronger the 8 3/4 Housing and I think that the bolts would stretch/break long before I significantly deflected the tubes on that Monster! Just my .02 for what it is worth.

    904 band adjustment question

    I think as I seen to recall the service manual in the 1960's stated 72-inch pounds and back two turns. They are at the shop and i am at home today or I would look it up to be certain I am correct. The bands we use now are higher friction components and better quality. We often use higher ratio...

    904 band adjustment question

    I snug them up finger tight and then back 1 1/2 turn. I usually cannot be a torque wrench in there do to the headers we run but of course that would be better. I am not familiar with method you have stated. But then again - I am old.

    leaf spring center bolt height Q

    In my elderly opinion I think the pins mainly located the rear end and the major amount of the retention is through the clamping force of the u bolts. They supply a bit of retention but not the bulk of it.

    Strange S60 Rear End Help

    As long as you are even 1/2 way close on the perches you can use Degree wedges (Shims) to adjust the rear end when assembled. I would have them welded on 3 Degree down and adjust them from there when I assembled the car with your Superstock springs. I use wet towels and keep the housing cool...

    Identify coating on my 273 rocker arms

    I would not guess DLC as I am looking at it? Dark "Cacao" Chocolate is a possibility.

    And go....

    Agreed. However, I do not believe they make anything but roller Lifters and not any flat tappets whatsoever.

    273 Rocker on 340

    I ran them on race cars 50 years ago with up to 550/570 Lift. They clear 1.47 spring with no grinding. Do not get crazy on the grinder as they tend to crack pretty easy around oil hole. Another issue is that the interference adjuster tended to loosen every 10/20 runs. I spot faced the rockers...

    Low oil pressure at stop light.

    Not a lot you can do on a small block. Try a heavier oil and perhaps put a aftermarket oil pressure gauge on your car so you can see how bad it actually is. You do not need a lot of oil pressure at idle but you need some!

    How round the cylinder is makes a hell of a lot more an issue with ring seal than a thou or two in the ring gap does at least in our shop!

    Torque plates

    On our race engines (Especially Small Block Mopars) not only do we use a Deck Plate but we home the blocks at the water temperature that we actually stage the race cars at. Does it make a measurable difference? I do not know but we sure do get our feet wet a lot and go thru a lot of Socks.

    Hood clearance Question

    The Air Gap Intake does a pretty good job of keeping the carb cooler by itself. A 1 inch phenolic spacer should fit under stock Hood with room for a decent size Air Cleaner.

    383 Piston slap

    Not unusual for my engines to have some noise the first minute upon startup with the clearances I run on the skirt. Now if it lasts longer than that or sound like someone has a hammer inside = that is a significant concern. How much piston to wall clearance on the skirt 90 degrees opposed to...
