-All I know is that over 40 years ago my buddy needed them drilled. Opened the Mopar book to the page with the drawing and showed my Dad. He drilled them (probably on a Jig Borer) and all was good..........

It really does matter if you're drilling brass/alum/wood or metal.
Most off-the-shelf bits are general purpose.
Angle is to steep for most metals.

Some things like these are best left to the professional shops that don't have to ask about how to get the job done correctly twocents up work

Don't worry...

I can do this. I might take a while, I might ask for a lot of advice, but I can (and will) do it.

That's fine...

Now I know that if I do the best job I can it will be all that's needed. And I intend doing the best job I can.

Just reading up on the drill tip angles, it would seem to me very likely that the 135° angle is the one. All the stuff I read suggests that the 118° drill is most efficient in 'soft metals' and cites aluminium as the standard there while the 135° drills come into play in harder metals. And while it would be nice to know just to be more correct, it's also good to know that my tooth fillings are likely to stay in as I cruise the B350 at 2,500rpm.

This discussion has pretty much forced me to add an avatar to my membership here... here's the full picture which really identifies that it's important for me to get things right as I work on this van:

I've been unable to progress things much over the past few weeks, but today I was idly looking at websites about 118° vs 135° drill tips and learned something interesting...

The 135° tips seem to have been something of a 'Johnny come lately' and probably weren't well known when the 360 engines were first appearing. Therefore, I feel, the Chrysler instructions for drilling the holes is based on the ready availability of 118° drills and therefore that's the way to go.

I have located, by the way, all the items I need to make up a drilling jig. Necessity being the mother of invention, as usual. I have to have a minor operation next week, but by the end of the week I should be able to get to the Men's Shed and start machining parts to make that jig.
