I know what it does, Ray
. And I wouldn't agree, on the ones I've taken apart, the stud has shown more wear than the disk.

Thanks for trying, buddy, but that one has a square head and a metric thread. Sorry.
Metric?
That's the standard of measurement used in Europe and the rest of the world outside the US....
You're back...
How did it go at the doc??? How's your back...
Did the doc say, "I've got your back.... "
And actually in the US automotive industry, too.That's the standard of measurement used in Europe and the rest of the world outside the US....
Yeah, I know, but most people in the US still don't know much about metric...
I've used it most of my life...
1 mm = .040"
1" = 25.4 mm
For some reason, it seems the Metric fasteners are more precise, the tools fit better, less slack.

that one? the page I was looking at had at least 8 on it - I was thinking maybe you can trim off a square headed one...
I like using metric at home also, it seems more accurate for me to deal in millimeters, than fractions of an inch....

like those dang brake line fittings I dealt with on Sat. - the coupler was a perfect 12mm "nut"

but the fitting into it was an NPT - it took me longer to figure out which two wrenches would work best than it did to make the connection..

I didn't realize how low I was on fuel or I might have taken it for a romp - I was actually worried I might run out before I got home 
Huh? Sloppy me. I'll look again, then. *shame*
The standards could dictate tighter tolerances, I don't know. Because I know US manufacturers CAN produce to the same tolerances - if they need to.
you see this post?

I did have to do some re tuning when I got it home, at sea level, was 1200 ft above sea level at dyno. But got it running perfect.
I just wanna check something. Are you sure that cam card is correct?
Cause I'm seeing a cam with a 102 lobe separation. 247/250 duration at 50. That is a serious cam for a small block. Even a 408 cube small block. Power with a cam like that wouldn't come on until at least 3,000 rpm. Maybe higher? What is this in? I'm also surprised at his recommended stall...
If the cam card is correct then I also have to disagree with moper. A 1000-1200 rpm idle seems in place for a cam like this. Looks a lot like a circle track cam.

LOL - I have a decent set of pipe wrenches - in NPT of course.. so I was dicking around trying to figure out why nothing was fitting the coupler properly..
- - I finally grabbed my regular metric wrenches and lo-and-behold, there it is
