Sounds like the machine shop conned you to get money and doesn't know what they are doing anyway (Competition Specs, pffft). I would remove the shims under the spring cups as you have already found out that it should result in the proper 1.875" IH. The heights don't have to be identical, but...

Not checking all valve train components and their movements can be a disaster waiting to happen.

Absolutely to cool!!! Great for replacement parts. I watched cars being drove off the line every 72 seconds. After the die is made, they would punch them out as fast as you could feed it in and pull them out. Maybe tomorrow, but not today. Thanks for sharing, very impressive!

I think people are their own worst enemy with this problem. They want solid lifter performance from a hydraulic tappet, roller lifter performance from a solid flat tappet; what could possibly go wrong? People "live and die" by the .904 lifter hype. Ignore the need for excessive spring pressures...

I’ve looked through a couple catalogs without success. A sleeve that fits a 18 spline is readily available but no one lists one for a 23 spline which added to the lack of them in catalogs makes me believe there isn’t one. Not that I take this AI response for 100% accuracy but it’s all I could...

Make sense. Thanks. I was thinking that.

I went through the Pontiac phase in the 70s with a stock 70 GTO and a built up 75 TA, both 4-speeds.

You needed to pay and walk away. Lawyer, you needed bring a real lawyer. A real lawyer would have cost more than it was worth, unless you shot someone, and in that case, I have one for that too.... You don't go to a gunfight with a knife. Better to go to a knife fight with a gun. Lesson learned...

Mice used dryer sheets to make nests in one of my motorcycles.

Peppermint packs by Uncle Gus or peppermint tea bags work well.

I have been using this smelly stuff in tin foil pie plates in my Charger Set one under the dash on the floor on each side in the front , one pan in the trunck and one under the hood where the battery sits and the mice stay very far away Come spring I just dump it back in the bottle till next...

Yeah, I calculated the same change in spring pressure which worried me since Hughes likes stiffer springs. I bought the cam, lifter, spring, oil package from them for their "No flat cam guarantee" and am following their instructions, all 13 pages. I removed the seal and the cup was shimmed...

Dad used Bounce sheets and Irish spring soap bars in his 57 Chev and the mice ate the soap and chewed up the bounce sheets to make their nest :(

While not a firebird fan or bandit fan, just felt they are overdone.I really like the mid 60s Tin Indians. Their stack on headlamps cars were attractive and I feel they were better built then a Chevrolet. Some the 50s Pontiacs really look good.

I've only killed one mouse in 47 years in my garage. The next day I got rid of everything on the floor that doesn't have wheels and put everything on shelves. When you get down on the floor and look across my garage, you can see from one corner to the other. All you see is car tires, wheels from...

Better description: the play in the chrome ring is both rotational and in the direction of honking the horn. It’s been this way since I drove it in the mid 80’s. Rotationally, I can move it ~1/4” (measured at the outermost point of the chrome ring). In the ‘honking’ direction, the bottom of the...
