I love the sound of it. Melling makes good cams.
I installed a retro fit Melling roller cam with Comp Cam roller lifters for around $700 in a SBC here awhile back after a flat tappet failure.
Right on, Ill get one done today
Is the three inches from the bottom of the bolt head or top of the bolt head?
The bolt head looks thinner than a standard bolt measure that for me too.
Flipper, I can make one for you.
Piece of cake
I just need the length of the bolt, does the hole go all the way through and how far into the bolt does the 1/2" thread go?
I've had distributor advance plates short out and cause this problem.
Are you running points or Hei distributor?
If points, set them to .017 and make sure you have a ballast resistor to drop the coil voltage to around 8 volts.
I started with, set the ac/dc arch welder machine to dc, touch off and go then, went to Miller 250 Syncrowave tig machine with high freak start with pedal to now I use a Miller Dynasty 200 DX with thumb control water cooled and love it.
