Well we finally got the cam end play set today with the shorter Cloyes thrust button. My son got to the shop early and had been working with it for 3 hours when I got there. He ended up welding the supplied washer onto the back of the thrust button for two reasons. 1) the button didn't seem to want to stay straight when sitting in the cam gear and 2) there was very little clearance between the cam gear bolts and the washer if it were to be tacked to the timing cover. I finally suggested fabbing a plate to bolt onto the back of the water pump (long pump) so that we could put tension on the timing cover. That did the trick and we got it set at .0065. We should be able to get this engine in the car and fired up by next weekend.
