Timken are good for bearings as well. Autozone had those for my truck.
inner/outer, both races (new), seals, waterproof, hi-temp bearing grease (hand packing is a skill you just HAVE to learn, and its easy (just don't blow dry bearings with air and spin them).

Also, as far as 'details'.....while I too had one of those gas filters....once I dumped it for a FRAM $3 clear plastic filter, I lost some hard starting issues.

Can't imagine why someone would run poly locks and one stock nut/ball unless they lost the other one....lol. Think I got a set here that I could let go cheap (since they don't fit the BBC's ).

Good to see you tearing into the engine like that (simple stuff)....saves you more in the long run, plus YOU know what's done with it.
