A big milestone, engine and tranny are back in car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks to all who have helped me get this far.
I have reconnected clutch cable before anything else as I want to make sure this whole thing with the arm is correct. I now have 3/4 -1" play when pulling pedal up. I think there is still enough slack in cable that excess pressure is not on TOB. When pedal fully depressed to floor there is about 3/8" (rough measure) remaining before arm would hit the trans case. Here is pic of cable end. Does everything sound like it is within spec? Thx |

Yes, I did do valve adjust after I replaced the rocket rod "tubes" and reinstalled rockers.
I have only run it briefly a few times. It has not backfired at idle since the first couple of times but did have some when I press accelerator. Missing is definitely still there even without backfire. |

And what did you use to identify Top Dead Center (TDC) when you set the valves? Was the distributor installed and did you verify where it was pointing when you were at TDC #1? |
