I am finishing off my rebuild of my 69 340 with the installation of new lifters and stainless 273 type adjustable roller rocker and I have just a few questions.

what does the 1.6 and 1.5 rocker arm ratio mean? And which adjustable one should I use for my rebuilt 340? And...how do I adjust them. It seems confusing and i don't want premature cam wear or failure because I don't adjust the pushrods correctly.:read2: Thanks gang, Doug

Hi gang.. I am tearing down my '70 340 and come to a point where I must ask you folks, the experts, a question. It seems the cam sprocket its not coming off the shaft as easy as i think it should. The motor is original and has 126000 miles on it. Is there a trick to removing the stubborn...
