Do you have a part or reference number for both of the air conditioning brackets that you are using? Especially the one on the front of the waterpump I've been searching for that exact bracket, the one from a small block Olds wont let the compressor holes line up…

I would buy some good poly locks and ditch the pinch nuts. If you didn't measure for pushrod length I would check the pattern at the valve stems . Without milling the rocker arm pads the geometry will never be dead on .Years ago I ran the same kit on a small block olds and the pushrods where wayyyy long at .100 if you are run a big enough cam you will bottom out the retainer on the valve guide boss. I broke 2 rocker arms before I realized the problem. Just fwiw. Out of curiosity what was your compression ( static) and duration for the cam.
