Ok folks I had a brain fart! I guess if I had one others have also had them while installing a Pamco.
I put a brass bushing on the right side. Guess what? The shaft would not rotate! In fact it would not even go in all the way.
This is why they have a steel bushing for that side! DAH!!!
Ok it is fixable. Wen you quit cussing get a 1/4" cold chisel and cut about a 1/4" section out of the bottom. Pry that out. Careful it does not fall in the cam shaft!!!
Then pry one end of the rest and grab it with some needle nose pliers and yank it out.
Do the V-8 head slap. Have another beer (the beer may have been the cause of the problem) and install the steel bushing!
Amazing how well it works if you follow instructions!
If all else fails---read the instructions---if Mike XS sent any!
