Funny how in the memory everything is right where I put it 33 years ago. But egg carton cardboard doesn't hold up well in a damp stone-and-brick cellar, and other people move things around. I found four lifters, one of them with its shim sitting inside. But I also found the head from the '74, cam still on it and lifters with shims beneath them. I cracked loose all the cam bearing cap nuts and will real soon pull the cam and the lifters and save you all the shims.
At one point I had bought some of the shims from the local dealer, in various thicknesses, but the chances of any of that batch turning up are about nil.
This all from my first Saab fling, which ended in the early '80s when I couldn't bring myself to pay Saab's price for a water pump.
