    These saddles(pedestals) crack/break all the time, they are the weakest link in the pedestal mount rocker setup.

    Valve clatter could it be timing?

    Could it be I'm running the wrong plugs? The AP666s that I'm running are what's called for the in 78 heads I used to have on the engine. Since I'm now running E7s from a 90GT that car calls for AP25s, I haven't gone to the store to look at the difference but could that be my problem? And for...

    Valve clatter could it be timing?

    ProComp Electronic parts ???

    Fine, I'll just stick with my Duraspark distributor and switch to the smaller cap/rotor as all I was looking for was a little clearance for my air cleaner. I don't race my car so I just don't see the need to spend $3-400 on a distributor.

    ProComp Electronic parts ???

    Since you suggested I do a little research I have and all the claims so far say it's based in Austrailia. Now they may manufacture in China but it is an Aussie company.
