Another bit of information that might help here. Because I had to do allot of blocks, drilling these holes became a time issue. If one hole was off you had to drill another, and if you had the engine assembled, where would the chips go. been there dine that. SSSOOOOO I took an old distributor shaft drilled a hole in the end and pressed in a short philips driver sharpened to a point. Now the size of the shaft was just right and the hole loation was easy to dril with the long drill. Now this operation only took a few minuts from start to finish. Don't forget to clean the holes.

If I could post pictures I'd post one??????
