I checked the website and couldn't find one, do I need to call or am I blind?

I tried an online stealership :frustrated:,.........do you have any other ideas I believe silver said something about just a machined pin to set the cam runout manually

My stroker is almost complete long block is assembled just missing the pin and spring, and the machine shop is finishing up the valve job =) by machine shop I mean a friend who builds race motors for a hobby. I ended up with a scat crank, resized rods, Mopar 229 cam, decked near zero, ic944 .030, stock felpro gasket, ported head with 60ish cc chambers .....9.6:1 @ 8.38 dynamic if I remembers

Yes, just replace the pin and spring with a solid pin. Set end play manually by cutting the pin until you get the desired end play.

Steel pin? Or should I use something softer?

Steel. You don't want soft against soft. Soft against soft = gauling.
