Maybe I'm wrong but I've read that some Indy rockers, depending on when they were made, lack oiling holes.

The stock ductile rockers I'm using have an oil hole for the pushrods and the valve tip.

I'm running them with no restrictors and pushrod oiling. Still went from 20-50 to 5-30 oil due to high pressure.



I would think you could achieve what you need by adding oiling holes to your current rockers and removing any restrictors.



Aside from that, not sure of the exact details of your springs/setup but wouldn't usually correlate a dual spring with damper as a high end spring for high lift street use.

I like PSI ML springs with exceldyne locks/retainers for whatever it's worth.

So in mocking this up, I am wanting some custom ARP fasteners. I faxed over a quick CAD drawing of what I want to ARP, and then called them....Man are they backed up on custom orders....Like 6 months I am told....

So this may take all winter....

I know people that have had ARP studs on back order for a lot longer than 6 months.

So to fix an AFR problem on the Hemi, I had the slip fit header tubes welded up between snow storms....I will post pics when painted again...

I hope they still install easily

My Headers are welded and you will have to pull the bars on an E Body to get them out of the car but could just leave them laying around the bars when you pull a motor. Bartons stuff is very very nice. To me if 5 K fixes the problem and more research is needed before you spend the 5K for the Barton set up that is much cheaper than a costly repair to a set of heads or a complete motor. How much is in your motor now, so it is like buying an insurance policy. The spray bars need to be looked at and cleaned also. This type of motor like said above is really not built for the street. Even the 1966/7 motor had next to nothing for cam lift, 68/69 a little more and 70/71 went to Hyd.to make them live on the street. These motors need there yearly once over and checked. One other thing, I believe in a lot of Oil both quanity and quality and pressure/volume.Maybe not what a race motor will get in pressure but still a high number.This is not a quick fix untill the problem is nailed down to what has happened or your problem will reoccure again and again so make the change that will fix it once. It takes time so take that time withour any emotions to cloud your decisions. I say that because we all have been in a similiar situation and toss money that is not needed trying for a quick fix. Good Luck

They pop in and out, no problem....I have a MF front end....nothing in the way...

I welded up my Hooker Super Comp Hemi headers on my E Body also. I have a AlterKation from suspension so no torsion bars either.

Headers all repainted....between blizzards here.

Would have been a good place to install V band clamps. Could still take a couple tubes out for starter replacement.

I can pull the starter with just loosening the header slightly...It doesn't have to be removed, or any of the tubes...

Yes, same here. I can change my starter without removing the header. I did you V Band clamps on the collectors.

5210 Super Comps? 2& 1/8" primary, 3&1/2 collector?
(just checking to see what I have to look forward to)

Mines pretty easy to work on considering the big Hemi in there....

When I first saw this picture all those pipes it reminded me of snake mating season
Don't get weird when you get old, like me please

HAHAHAHA !!!!! hey Cab, i think we are supposed to get weird when we get old !

6PK, can you tell me where you got the turn downs for your race bullets in your picture, and what angle they are ?
a big TIA.

Just about ready to start testing....Need more parts. ..

Smart and didn't cost you 5K, I like it!

Hope this solves your spring problems, what springs have you gone with?

I had Pacalloy and then Howards....It does not seem brand specific.....Would love a set of Bartons, but not in the budget right now....Hell, if this works, I don't even have to put a new cam I bought in it...

That header shot from the bottom is beautiful. Nice car for all the work you have put into it.
