I want thank everyone who has answered my questions and given suggestions on my Torino 428 build.. definitely the largest can of worms I’ve ever opened! Love the power it has.. once put on the dyno and carb tuned will post the results...now that the car can run like bat out of hell the last can of worms is getting the braking better....waiting for some dry day to see if vacuum canister helps improve braking before buying a vacuum pump

I didn’t do the assembly so I don’t know for sure what was used.. from what I could see thru the distributor opening I saw at least one push in plug, on top next to distributor hole.

Today was the big day for firing up the my 428... when we primed the engine had about 40 lbs oil pressure ... upon startup it showed about the same oil pressure only ran for about a minute as we checked for leaks....there were a couple.. restarted the the engine not as much oil pressure and then the pressure starts dropping....put a remote gauge on just to make sure my gauge was accurate and it was showing 7-10 lbs at idle then the lifters started making noise....shut it down ....this is a hydraulic roller cam,roller rockers the oil pump is standard pressure and volume.... any thoughts as to what I should ask the builder? Thank you everyone for advice before I had this built and again when Murphy reared his ugly head...

On my 428 ended up only  shaving a hundredth off the bases also but was unable to use the factory tins...

How thick are the spacers? I am using Brent’s roller rockers with studs . I really like my chrome pbf valve covers for the stock look. Where are you located yellow truck?

What is the difference between the 2 pumps in flow an pressure? I would really hate to start blowing seals in the power steering ram .... and haven’t had any luck trying to find answers . About the only thing I find with Saginaw and power steering is with integrated steering which I can’t use...
