For some reason, this site doesn't seem to like sbf tech. If you go there and search "adjusting stud mount rockers" You will find a VERY VERY VERY informative read on valve train adjustment and set up. I wish I'd known before I spent my first penny on speed parts....

The site's name is getting caught in the language censoring software.

try modifing by adding an underscore so it so it's cantget_anydumber.

I've tried to link pictures here before that were absolutely SFW (safe for preschool!) and it wouldn't let me.

He's got pedestal mount rockers. Only way to adjust em is using shims.

My noise is gone, my vacuum advance was the culprit.

Your link to the SBF tech forums is incomplete.

Just a question. Where did you have you vacuum hose connected. Was it to the mainifold, giving full manifold vacuum, or to the carby port?
