    I checked out the crankshaft too and it does indeed have provisions for the pilot bearing. Good news if I want to put a stick set up behind it.

    Like pops I looked those valve covers up and down for evidence of some "bodywork" to remove the spark plug wire holder retainers. I saw none either. I am sure some models ended up as abnormal (or "ABBY NORMAL" as they said in Young Frankenstein) and had no plug wire covers. Very interesting with the adjustable valvetrain Hombre259. Neat looking covers.

    Lamin8r....... thank you for the wonderful solution to our dilema!!! The crate is on its way (I shipped it "pony express")

    Yeah Roland, it's good to hear someone else has covers that have no provision for spark plug covers. It had me wondering for a while what we had here. Those ones with the clearance bumps are very cool, and I bet rare.

    Don, the cleaning job you did on your side of the shop looks great. Now I can find your tools much easier when I "borrow" them.

    DonJr, Yea it is curious about those valve covers, and by the way I didn't get the adjustable valve train just those dimples.
