wrist pin bushing ?

[big job]

On a 59A rod there are two 12 o'clock oil holes and two 9&3 o'clock oil holes
Old bushings and new bushings only have the two top holes. But then the
shop manual says drill all four with 1/8 drill (then ream bushings). A little too late but I see Reds Headers picture clearly with two on top and two on the
side. Been driving this car all the time and its has only two oil holes on the
top. So whats up with that? Two holes or four holes, thats the question??

So what are you gonna do about it if the answer is four? 8^) Jack E/NJ

The answer is 4. However, apparently, 2 seem to work for you.

The 8BA con rods have the little bosses on each side of the small end but they only drilled the two holes on the top. Redundant I guess.

Bushings we removed only had the two on the top. I'm only going by what the
book says "press new bushings then drill with 1/8 drill all four then ream"
