Best lifters for my 1965 273

crashcaptn said

It is and has about 47,000 original miles. Did a top end rebuild but i have some lifter noise and thought a new set would be a good way to go. Still think so - just solid lifters instead.. Any advice on which ones to get that would be best for my application?

Do as the other fellow suggested & try resetting the lash on your adjustable rockers 1st, if your having a bit of job doing that & it hasn't been done: you may need your rocker screws that contact the valvestems defacing, I've learnt they take a bit of a durability beating, if not done, you'll find it hard to get the valve gaps to accept an accurate gap, although using a 'wire' type gauge meant for settingvplug gaps can be an extra help.
Try NAPA 1st for the solids set & see if they've got some USA made Melling,Sealed Power,TRW, Delphi (OEM), etc maybe even nos or the Summits should be OK but in-house brand theres a chance they could be Asian, unless someone knows better.
Just go with what looks like your originals & suits your budget & availability.
