Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
My initial plan was to use this one as a spare, at this point I'm wondering if it will ever run long enough to even be that.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Ran for parts today and made it to this point, tomorrow starts the search for the perfect lifter/restrictor combination.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
DO NOT try to restrict the oil with the pushrods, that will not work. It must be done through the lifters.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
