I did a engine swap in my sons 72 Duster from a slant6 to a 318 (1976 LA engine) that I had bored out .060 to clean it up.
I put in a Mopar purple Hydraulic flat tappet cam 4552761 268/272 degree 450/455 degree lift. We put a Edelbrock intake and 1406 carb on it. It's in the car and getting close to turning the key but I need to adjust the valves. The valves and seats have been cut so how do I go about adjusting these things?
I see summit makes a pushrod tool. This is my 1st Mopar rebuild heck it's my 1st rebuild of any kind in some time.. So what's the best way to check and do this?? Do you use this pushrod adjusting tool and then have to get diffrent lengh push rods or is it a must for a rocker arm change to the adjustable type.. What do you all recommend. I would like to do it right but with a limmited budget.
