Some other tools I made....

[1FATGMC]

While building the 383 I also built a few other tools that helped with degreeing the cam in.



A spacer to move the degree wheel away from the end of the crank.    

   

A piece to put on the top of the lifter to extend it for the dial indicator.

   

A piston stop to find TDC.

There are a few more pictures and a better description ( HERE ).

I have another trick little tool I made to measure pushrod lengths, but I'm leery of putting a picture on the web.  First I want to see if anyone makes the same thing now and possible also look to see if there is any patent on something like I did.  It isn't much, but if you ever have to check pushrod lengths I think it is pretty neat.

I gave one to Hooley and if you have to do some checking I'll bring you one for a beta test and get your opinion .
