Sounds like the crank grinder caused the problem if you have 3 in spec. That one journal may well be wider. Conrod widths (assuming they are a matched set) usually within a thousands or maybe 2 at most. You cannot do much about too much side clearance. The wider rod side clearance will not be...

There is a good chart published by Raso Enterprises on the internet concerning the Edelbrock metering rods. It shows all the available part numbers and power/economy sizes. I used Edelbrock jets and metering rods in my AVS to tune it and they work fine. My carb had the flat Edelbrock step up...

Edelbrock supplied the thin metal plate with the Performer manifold I purchased - it was in the box.

The exhaust valve lift would be 0.564 thousand's with that cam and 1.6 ratio rockers. Maybe not enough spring pressure to control the extra mass of the hydraulic roller lifter?????

The other possibility is the piston notches are not big enough to clear the larger valve heads.

The orange cam is most likely the one you need.

Try a 30 or 31 squirter - can't hurt.

A while back I contacted the Penrite oil tech line. The guy I spoke to seemed pretty knowledgeable so I guess the info will be good. Penrite recommend a specific run in oil for 100 miles and to stay in for no more than 500 miles. Some varying load must be used. At this point change to a mineral...

The bearing housing retainer fasteners also need a little sealer on the threads.

The set on the far right clip the two halves of the heater box together. Not sure on the others.

I'm thinking blue as you have painted the thermostat housing blue.

I don't know if I have seen a specified clearance for your question. However the converter should be a snug fit in to the crankshaft register to centralise the converter. Maybe 1 -3 thousands clearance.

The shoes can be over adjusted too tight. Maybe new shoes have been fitted to worn drums????? Incorrectly machined for shoe width??? Is there are ridge that would contact the outer edge of the shoes??? The rear drums when cold should have little to no drag when they are cold. The short/long...

Another way I have done it on an already running engine. Warm the engine up and set the hot lash on number 1 cylinder. Don't move the engine and allow to cool until the next day. Measure the cold lash and set the rest to this setting. Takes a bit of time but it appears to work OK. A thousandth...

From what I know and have seen over the years camshaft manufacturers always specify HOT lash settings. The lash obviously needs to be correct when the engine is hot. Like Rick said if you want to set them cold depending on head material etc you reduce the gap used. I will usually warm up the...

The Bendix callipers are much harder to get parts for. If you need rotors it would pay to swap to the latter pin style IMO.

You can test the accelerator pump for correct operation before you put the top of the carb on.

They are ordered separately - $12 I think. I believe those are original Hemi carbs. They will not have curb idle speed screws that hold the butterflies open - they use the middle 9/16" third idle adjustment in conjunction with the mixture screws. 11/16" accelerator pump diameter.

I also used Mikes to source rebuild kits and I also purchased tuning kits jets and rods. Really good well labelled parts and very prompt shipping. You can use the carb numbers to get the correct parts on the website.

You are correct on both questions/points. There are 4 booster to firewall mounting fasteners as well.
