I may hold you to your offer from a couple years ago for that beer.
Let it be known that the only reason(s) I imbibe in adult carbonated beverages is social gatherings (including stripper poles), medicinal purposes and supporting the grain farmer community.
That having been said, I also enjoy bull-shiat sessions discussing how fast cars can go ...

There was also a problem with some blocks especially when using the ARP HD shafts or Precision Oil Pumps Ford Billet HD driveshaft from slag material left behind when the block was machined at the factory. The drill did not completely pass through top to bottom the machined hole above the oil pump. There was a ring of casting material left un-machined that interfered with installation. Most time rubbing on one side of the HD shafts. Ford even put out a TSB to correct the problem by drilling through this slag material for the early shafts. I would have to check my TSB's for article number. .
EXCELLENT INFO!
Please give info as to what period blocks would have been affected.

Would be interesting to know if the ARP, with it's larger mid section, is what eliminates the possibility of being pulled up and out through the .454"aprox. pilot hole at the TOP end? Providing the shaft is the correct length, then this would eliminate the need for the star washer, IMHO. Yes. Please don't take anything you read on an Internet forum personal. Typing on a computer is not face to face communication. Some of us try to inject some comedy into our responses. Often these attempts are interpreted as being nasty or sarcastic.

My confusion continues. Did they make different diameter mid sections at some point? When I installed mine from the oil pump end, engine upside down on the engine stand it fell right through and onto the floor. Luckily I still had my old OEM shaft and used the spring washer from it. As mentioned I never found another place that has a 5/8 spring washer. I have a feeling that ARP didn't have a source for a 5/8 washer either and just stuck the 1/2 on it and called it good..

In measuring a ARP shaft I have sitting here, the diameter at its middle is 0.370” while the pilot hole for the distributor is 0.450”. That means the shaft without any kind of retention washer (AKA star washer) will come up (or fall down) through the distributor hole.

Thank you Ted, that confirms what I have experienced and I'm not totally crazy..

Ad nauseam is a Latin term for argument or other discussion that has continued to the point of nausea. For example, "this has been discussed ad nauseam" indicates that the topic has been discussed extensively and those involved have grown sick of it.
