Just finished my head on my 68 250S.

GOOD TIP coming your way. Ready?

There is a washer UNDER the distributor hold down! It acts as a spacer and is easily lost, not noticed.
When I tightened down my distributor after making SURE it had bottomed out, I promtly broke off the whole ear where the bolt goes through into the head. DOH! Didn't have the spacer UNDER the ear.

All my ball studs are so hard to turn, I had to remove the rockers and use a socket and ratchet wrench with a cheater bar!!! What is up with this?
