I'm rebuilding a 292 Y-block. I'm using new Clevite bearings and the bearings have three slotted holes, All three holes are different sizes. What slot on the cam bearing do I line up with the cam bearing oil hole? I usually only seen one or two oil holes in bearings not three of different sizes, Thanks any help

The 4 bearings all have 3 holes so that any one of them can be used in the center location.  That is the only place all three holes are used.  On that one, make sure the block oil hole connects to the center hole in the cam bearing, that way the other two align with the feed holes to the rocker arms.  On the others, I always align the center slot with the oil passage, but it really doesn't matter as long as one of them align.

Hobby: What cam or you using? If installing a new stock rebuilders cam, according to John Mummert (www.fordY-block.com) the oil groove in some of those, are too shallow & tend to crimp the oil supply. If not sure, check with Mummert of possibly someone here can confirm what is an acceptable groove depth... Better safe than sorry.
