From Shoebox's site:
GM specs indicate that the dowel should be .620" long (protrusion from the front face of the cam) for the vented optispark. Some people have said it is supposed to be .685". Mine was actually .650" and still was in no danger of bottoming out in the optispark drive (I'm thinking .685" might be the max it could be)

the difference is pretty big , i have a 96 formula , ordered a 96 billit cc306, had the motor built , well it must have been a 95 motor cause the opti wouldnt fit so I measured the dif. , taped everything off and got after it with a dremel cutoff wheel, 8500 mi later still works
