I am running Mopar stamp rockers with 901-16 springs in my 340 .030 along with a Mopar 509 purple cam, 3500 stall and after 18,000 miles I have had zero issues.

750 Eddy on my 340 .030 over with a mopar purple .509 cam along with 3500 stall and a 9" ford 389 gear set. The 750 works great with this set up. Oh I may add that I also have a Holley Blue electric fuel pump with psi regulator set at 7psi
