Ha,Ha, LMAO, looks like ole LIVELY, suck'ed all you guys in on this one.
I'll just bet he'e LOTF, LHAO right now.
Of couse the back 4 lifters don't work, or the distributor either, there's no lobe's there or cam gear for that matter.
IMO he gave himself away when he said he put a 3/4 COVETTE cam in his son's car.

GGOD ONE LIVELY

Default 3/4 cam

Rabbit, I got one hanging on the wall in my store and you saw it.
Guys I see a lot of problems with flat tappet cams today , I have 1.3 rockers and use the extra and still lose cam lobes from 3-4 diff companies and I THINK the problem is lifters , only people use them today are hot rodders and street rodders.
we build some 305 sprint mtrs where we can only use these lifters and it is a mess. Later J.Smith 4621 racing
