with all the good info here I feel confident. RR

I do have some extra packing tape & no plans to box anything up & use it

good info guys, I'm gonna give her hell. RR

good comprehensive info & very much appreciated. I think I will confirm the TDC slit then glue the sh-t out of it & for backup scribe the marks on the side using it as a ruler. RR

I had prior thought about just useing it as a ruler with a paint stick as I only need a few measurements (initial/total & a few numbers on either side of that} but I am going to glue the hell out of this one. RR

thanks 67, will do

what should I use to lock it on the dampener so it stays put? thank you for your time. RR

the good 340 exhaust manifold (drivers side). what is the outlet diameter/years available? thank you for your time. RR EDIT & casting # please

yes dist/oil pump drive

the chrysler dealer said there are 144 of em on back order at dealers. are these made aftermarket & if so which one should I get?

Thanks guys! he is good people. RR

this man went out of his way to help me resolve my issue. He sent me an intake for just the shipping amt. You couldn't ask for a better man to do business with. RR

I'm probably missing something but I'd call it good! I do shoot for minimal preload & check the contact pattern

^^^ googled it & found it. cryo-tech

what triple R said, I will check the oiling points on mockup first, on my next one. RR

I will keep that in mind for next time.

from what I read on the utube chats I'm gonna need it and it is a howards cam, its just that one of the vids said that comp cams offers nitriding & hopefully that is for any cam that you send in not just for one of theirs. I'll give em a call.

these are Hughes racing hyd lifters & I do measure a crown. I will take all the prep you suggest. thanks guys. RR

will do as advised, thanks guys. RR

My bad, I posted 1.625 instead of the correct 1.265, got my numbers transposed & I think RRR nailed it!

^^^ that's good to hear. just all of the horror stories have me worried. RR

cant go roller (rules) plus its pricey. I want to have a successful breakin with failures being epidemic. been watching some utube vids & they talked about miking the lobe taper & one mentioned that comp cams can nitride a cam. what are your thoughts? thank you for your time. RR

I took the dampener diameter (7.25") times Pi (3.1416) = 22.7766" circumference. divide that by 360 gives 0.0632683" for each degree & times 20 degrees would be 1.625" around the dampener. Am I wrong on this?

if so I will goop em up like other sm blks. thank you for your time. RR

Professor fate, good comprehensive info & the pics were great. thank you, much appreciated! RR

Professor, to confirm, the hedman 78500 shorties will not fit an early A? I have a 63 A 360 with EQ iron heads (I understand the ex port is a bit different). I have a set of those hedmans not yet installed. I mocked up some magnum ex manifolds but I had to jack up the eng to clear the steering...

I'll give ray a holler. thank you. RR

this is a small block electronic dist. thank you for your time. RR

any thoughts on what was wrong with the 2pumps (pressure relief valve issue??) EDIT gear to pump cover clearance?? After what you have been thru on this I would HAVE to know. RR

(FWIW) just saw a utube vid where they opinionated that a windage tray keeps critical oil splash from the cam, critical on cam breakin. tho sure wouldn't be practical to breakin with out it then open things up & add it.
