Once again guys a day late and dollar short. Didn't stick around Fredericksburg very long. As much as we aren't on a timeline we still have places we are supposed to be stopping at certain times. So cliff notes. I tried to call Dick Patterson to no avail, not a big deal at least I have his number for future issues. I got a hold of a buddy back home old gear head. He reiterated what you guys said, these motors are going to spit at you growl and sometimes question your sanity but if it sounds like it's running good it probably is and she sounds great when running. . I tightened all the valve cover bolts which were all loose. I crawled under and tightened what I could get at on the oil pan which were also loose and then the tranny cover bolts which were also loose. Seemed to help a little with the "drips". Little bit of oil at the base of the distributor cap as well after I cleaned the engine up. Still seem to get some extra dripping in the oil filter area, just above it from what I can see. Also oil pressure gauge shows just above half while driving and when idling drops down to low. Going to dig out the original manual about the oil pressure which I vaguely remember being in there. Thanks again guys
