Is there a link for that charting software?

I don't like the 1-2 drop in any of the reasonably priced new transmissions.
I drove a Muncie and loved the gear spreads.
 
I was going to get a set of those for when my wife pulls in all the way to the wall ... which is every time.
Come-on, usually around 50 years old people hang the old tennis ball on a string from the ceiling so they don't pull the car in too far.

I was driving my mothers SUV one day, brought it home in the garage for her, and went back and forward hitting the tennis ball! :)

If I put one of those up, she'd ram it right into the kitchen.
 
7.70 on the adjustable pushrod gave me a line on the valve tip roughly .039 inches wide.

I've heard add .03 to .05 inches to pushrod length for preload. If I adjust half turn past zero lash that's .025 inches I should add
 
Do you guys put a dab of assembly lube on the locks to hold them in place?

I don't want to give advice that might cause a lock to slip out or something.
I don't see it being a problem, the things are covered in oil when the motor's running....

You don't even have to think about numbers on that.
Just add whatever you've calculated you're going to preload the lifters.
Ending up with a number ending in a multiple of .x25 is hitting the pushrod length lottery!
 
7.70 or 7.75 is going to be fine. The width of the mark on the tip needs to be less than .07" from what I understand
