Have new AC Delco plugs, gapped them all last week ready. Leads are roughly 8,000km old, as well as dissy cap and rotor.

Any other thoughts that I may have missed?

No, that hole is there to lubricate my timing chain.

 

[delcowizzid]

its not needed its just source of oil pressure loss weld it shut will gain you around 10psi of hot idle oil pressure

You have the hole in the cam bolt and the timing chain oiler. You really only need one. If you have a quality roller timing chain it will be perfectly happy with only splash oil lubrication.

Some folks block the chain oiler and weld and re-drill the cam bolt hole so it squirts oil onto the oil pump drive shaft bush instead.

 

[delcowizzid]

plenty of oil ends up in the front splashing around the chain

I found time to bolt up my HPC coated timing cover and a New Water pump today

Looking good Deuce.
Sheesh, looking at the cam specs you guys are running I reckon I am in for some fun when I open the intake up some more.

My cam in my 202 was a Kelford special grind and that did the business so I have big respect for our local cam shop. They also did the cams for the NZ V8s I think so have plenty of knowledge about them.
I hope you get it all sorted soon mate
