Thanks 👍

It appears you have the rocker arms oil overflow tube on the right side(passenger side) on the wrong end of the arm. It should be on the front end where it goes in the hole to help oil the camshaft chain and gears. All the rocker arms will have to be turned around in order for the oil holes in the rocker arm shaft to line up. It is crucial that they do line up properly.

On second look at the picture, it appears that both of the rocker sets are backwards. Does it appear this way to anyone else?

They look correct.  They are assembled the same way.  When oriented as they would be when installed, the driver's side tube will be at the rear while the passenger's side tube will be at the front.

None of them is correct?

I have a space problem

I want to leave the distributor open for the engine start, I have in the Damper 16 ° before the top dead center.

Now, as the distributor has to be exactly, the line that can be seen by pencil would be the cable of the number 1 cylinder. In that position, how should the points be?

Regarding the valve cover gaskets:

Sometimes aftermarket covers don't fit the gaskets correctly.  I've used a Dremel with a cut off wheel to widen the gap so that the gaskets fit correctly.  Once they fit, use adhesive to glue the gasket to the valve cover, to ease installation.
You can trim the tabs off of the gaskets that have them, to fit your valve covers.

Regarding the clearance to the intake:

Just about the same story.  Place them on the head and mark the areas that need clearance then use a Dremel to remove material until it fits.  Use an old gasket, if available, while doing this so that the valve cover is sitting at the correct height, so that only the amount of materiel that needs to be removed is removed.

If the gasket was not in place when you took the picture. put it in place and see if the problem still exists.  Note that a new gasket will compress when tightened so ensure that clearance is adequate for that.

A die grinder will probably work better for these modifications but most people in this hobby have a Dremel or similar tool and it works, just more slowly.
