RE your fibre gears:
Chevys have a nylon cam sprocket which wears over time. I have an old motor from a 74 Nova that was so worn that the loose timing chain wore through the timing cover but the motor kept running and is still running.

LOL on the Nova. If I have to do engine service at some point, while it's apart, I'll swap those fiber gears for some steel ones, probably adjustable.

I can't find the chart that shows comparisons to rocker sizes now, either. They may have removed it since the last time I bought a cam from Comp? (Years ago.) I specifically remember looking at it to determine the size of rockers I could use on my 351, though, with the cam I was ordering for it.
