yeah i'm curious about an elaboration as well.

but that isnt a vacuum secondary carb i believe. still might be worth some info

heres a video i saw just recently regarding that. start at around 9 mins to get to the good stuff

if you keep the stock shaft mounted rockers then you want solid pushrods. your rocker oiling system wont change. even if you went to magnum heads, only difference is oil through rods and lifters. i want to say just retrofit roller lifters, roller cam, and solid pushrods should get you where you...

just to update, i used ford boss 302 7.605.....not 7.650 pushrods. i wiped several cam lobes. pretty sure the stock springs were to blame. went ahead and installed new lifters and cam. used the same push rods......and yeah, it was the pushrod length and not the springs. tick showed up again so i...
