I very much doubt bellhousing runout is the problem.

Looks to me one is fine pitch and the other, not so fine.

I bought a 68 s/s hood for my dart 35 years ago. It's pretty beat up now of course but the hood to scoop area is still decent. And it's a race hood from unlimited. I also bought a max scoop for my belvedere all those years ago and it's always seemed a bit small to me. For myself if I could find...

Functionally there is no difference that I know of. And the cylinders pictured will work on a disc brake car. The size of the reservoirs being the difference. Disc need the larger reservoirs as the pads wear.

Residual pressure valves? Self adjusters lubed up and working properly and evenly. Parking brakes hanging up somehow. Shoes arced in? Just thinking out loud.

There is a seal inside the gear. If it's not in correctly that could prevent it from seating all the way down. Here is mine.

Try Faxon auto literature. Got a service manual and a body assembly manual for my 64 Plymouth from them. 1 to 10, I rate them a 8.

That is of course the timing tab for #1 cylinder.

Simple. Done this more than a few times. Get a piece of fairly stiff wire. About the diameter of a clothes hanger wire. Back off a timing cover bolt, wrap that wire around it. Maybe 320° around. Bend that wire, keeping it tight against the cover. Nice 90° bend when you get to the damper. Keep...

As the mark can be all over the place for any number of reasons I would find top dead center with a positive stop.
