Bell Housing Alignment

[Brian Schlump <jsbs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I need help from you guys that have machining knowledge.  I've been 
running a 1966 bell housing on my '64, and now I'm installing a '64 to 
replace it.  On page 6-12 & 6-13 of the FSM it states that I'm allowed 
.008" bore run-out.  It appears that the gage / dial indicator that is 
shown is measuring this from the centerline of the crank.  I can't get 
my dial indicator mounted that way, so I removed a flywheel mounting 
bolt and have the magnetic base mounted so that I'm reading the ID of 
the housing as I cicle the circumference.  With the dial set at zero at 
the 4:30 position, I get 0.012" at the 10:30 position.  That's the max 
reading, so do I have 0.006" or 0.012" of run-out?  I've got the MP 
offset dowels to correct it, if I need to, but first I need to know if a 
correction is actually required.  Thanks in advance for any help you 
guys can give me...Brian
