These shims haven't been available from the big suppliers for some time
mostly because there's a better solution. At 80 thousands I wouldn't bother
to change anything since you're only off by a couple of turns on the
adjustment screws. If you want the rocker geometry _perfect_ then the
solution is to use shorter pushrods. Tubular pushrods are available in
various lengths from TS Imported Automotive and others. If you already have
a set of these high performance pushrods in the standard length you will
find instructions for shortening them in the official Competition
Preparation Manual.
