95/96 LT1 cam
Can any body here tell me what is the lenght of the 95/96 dowel pin? I am going to do a Cloye double chain conversion later. I already a got a 95 timimg cover and 95 opti. But I want to keep my current custom cam. Therefore I am going to press out the shorter dowel pin on the cam and press in the longer dowel pin. I am going to use the C clamp and a deep sock go over the dowel pin and press it out. The last time I heard the dowel pin is about .720 long?

Do you happen to know the diameter? Because I have a whole bunch dowel pins at work that I measured some are .312 ans some are .250. I can just put them on the lathe and turn them to size.

Thanks for the tip. To be honest, I feel much safe by installing the Cloye Double chain because I feel the chain I got in there now will not survive the dyno pull later in the Spring.
