Rebuilding my '67 Dart 270 with a 225cid slant-6 engine. I haven't started to reassemble the engine because I'm too busy cleaning 50+ years' worth of dirt off of everything to make it shiny and new-looking (and, you know, to keep from introducing "old dirt" into the system and prolong the life of the engine, etc. etc.).
I bought some connecting rod bearings from RockAuto - Clevite CB1214P6, which the site claims is a fit for my engine. Problem: It ain't a fit. Those little guys are ~0.7" wide, while the old bearings were ~1" wide. (For good measure, the box is printed with the correct part number, and the bearings are stamped with the correct part number.) All the other connecting rod bearings on RockAuto seem to be about the same size, judging from the pictures.
Does anyone know where I can locate 0.010" undersize connecting rod bearings in the correct width?
