Also , behind the lower intake near the fire wall on the block , there is a small whole the size of a pen, it looks like it had...

    :shrug:Roller rockers driving me nutts!

    I went by the specs in the haynes manual for the 5.0 ho motor , then while the motor is running i would back off until i heard a clatter , then tighten it 3/4's of a turn, then crank down the allen key.

    gear ratio 3:55 or 3:73

    I am running 4:10's and a 5 speed i only do about 65 on the parkway . It is cool to be able to roast em going down the parkway though. I do mostly around town driving so it isnt that bad. My only gripe is that 1st gear is basically non-existent.
