I'm putting in the last items on the engine getting ready to fire things up next week. The distributor, tach and oil pump drive. No problem getting the drive gear in and the oil pump shaft aligned up with the oil pump.
My question is about the pedastal and the proper amount of shimming. All I remember when I pulled it all apart many months ago was that there was a gasket on there that had to be scraped off. When I went to order a new piece from Moss, the quantity was A/R (As Required). That says to me that there must be some sort of measurement or something to determine if more then one is needed. How do I determine this? BTW, I ordered two pieces, but they won't be here until monday, so I don't know how thick they are. I looked in the factory service manual, but there was no mention about this...or at least I couldn't find any.
