I think I have bad lifters and want to buy a set before I break it all down.

I have a 1988 GT w/AOD. I don't know if I have rollers or standards.

Please help.

Thanks.

If it is the correct engine for you car, then yes.

to make it clear for me...

85-95 5.0's had roller lifters, roller rockers, and roller cams right?

Almost correct. Factory Roller Rockers only came on '93-'95 Cobra's. All other's came with standard stamped steel rocker arms.
