Traveler,
You are right about the Holley Jets being used as a
oil restrictor and I think the size I was told was .080. I also agree w/ Snake you don't want to put your intake manifold back on without the tin baffel that sets under it.
I just recently changed intake manifolds and sequentially unbolted my roller rocker arm stands 1/2 turn at a time starting from the center out. I placed my rocker arms and push rods on a metal tray in the exact order they came out and then reinstalled them exactly as they came out when I put my new manifold back on. Ran the engine about 15 minutes and checked all my clearances (.023 gap for solid lifters) and everything was still in tolerance.
