O.k the retro roller lifters came for the custom cam, so time to get pushords. I made an adjustable one and started checking. Problem is the sweep, and the length. It's the 302 and the length I came up with is 6.100" Does anyone know where to get this length in a one piece design? Also I have a .120 length sweep across the valve, and that's as short as I can get it. The sweep is centered across the valve that way. If I go longer if goes off the outer end, if I go shorter, it goes off the inner side, so is that o.k., or is there a way to do it that I'm not seeing. Please help me a.s.a.p. I'm so close now I can here it!  ------------------

I've heard of lash caps and they come in .010, 020 & 030. So yo may want to look into that if you run out of ideas.Les ------------------

Comp Cams probably has that length in stock, or they can make you anything you want. 1-800-CAM-HELP or www.compcams.com  ------------------

Hey thanks, I was going to run a 3/8 pushrod, but if that's all I can find, I may have to go to a 5/16.------------------

Manley should be able to handle it give em a call! If they dont have it they will make it.
I think they have some of the best customer service round.
