    AFR heads, which stamped steel rockers?

    I know, LOL!!! Can hear it with the hood closed.... Will give an update when I install the Cranes... When you do a thread search you see a lot of people have this issue. This may help someone in the future who is on the fence with the rollers.

    AFR heads, which stamped steel rockers?

    Good old M/T valve covers I found at Ramchargers when I was a teenager. Adjusted them correctly, did a ton of research...it's just the nature of the beast. BUT I think I found what I needed from Crane Crane Cams 36800-16 Will be worth it to have a silent valve train, screw the 3-4 hp

    AFR heads, which stamped steel rockers?

    OK, want to go back to stamped steel rockers, Scorpian rollers just to "sewing machine" sounding for me. My old ones are rail type...won't work, I'll swallow a valve.. Which year rocker arms do I look for to buy? AFR's are 3/8" stud mount. Would these work...

    STA Terminal...6 volts output, why?

    So the STA terminal only puts out 6v and my alternator isn't malfunctioning, right?.....then I need to wire in a 6v switched relay to get the full 12v to the choke.

    STA Terminal...6 volts output, why?

    Both are new. Will check the battery voltage to see if I get the 13-14v with car running and take it from there.

    STA Terminal...6 volts output, why?

    Haven't hooked it up yet. I'm sure it will work, but at a decreased efficiency. Just wonder why I get 6 volts when it seems that all the posts I searched show it should be 12v.

    STA Terminal...6 volts output, why?

    Just hooking up the electric choke on my Holley in the 68 302....Checked the voltage at the STA terminal on the back of the alternator with car running and am gettting only 6 volts.. Car runs great...What's going on? Car has stock alternator, everything electrical works great. TIA, Drew

    Guide Plates???

    Spoke with Jason at AFR and he says to leave the guideplates alone. Due to the position of the valves the rocker arms will be a little pidgeon toed. I looked at mine and if do use the adjustable plates to "straighten out" the rockers then the rollers will not be centered on the valve stem...

    Guide Plates???

    Will clearancing the slot (widening) cause to much possible lateral play for the pushrod? Is it better to just go with the ISKY adj plates.. This way the pushrod slots stay the same.

    AFR 165 & 185 users... any issues w/ rocker arm positioning?

    Gotcha.... Mine are brand new. I'll call AFR on Monday and get some input. Looks like I'll go with the adjustable guideplates. Seems to me the pigeon toe rockers will make valve train noise.

    Guide Plates???

    Having the same exact problem on my AFR 165's....see the post from today http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=8101441 We need to call Jason from AFR and ask him what's up.

    AFR 165 & 185 users... any issues w/ rocker arm positioning?

    WOW... The exact problem I'm seeing with my AFR 165's....Pigeon toed. My question is if you do go with the adjustible guideplates then the left to right centering of the roller will be off. So which is worse? Pigeon toe? OR Off center right to left on the roller if pigeon toe is fixed...

    Lifter anatomy....pushrod cup newer vs old

    Measured from the base of the lifter to the base of the pushrod cup with a c-clamp type caliper. Same height on new and old... Should have thought of this first. Nice.

    Lifter anatomy....pushrod cup newer vs old

    I took it apart and really took a good look at it. The plunger body sits inside the lifter body. The plunger body snugs up nice and tight against the retaining clip. Now....the pushrod cup simply sits inside the plunger body right on top of the metering plate. I think it's just an older...

    Lifter anatomy old vs newer... affect pushrod length?

    I'll try to make this short. Trying to find the right pushrod length...thought I had it. Then I looked at some newer lifters I had laying around and I see a difference in the depth at which the pushrod cup lays in the lifter. OLD LIFTER: Pushrod cup just lays in the plunger, you can pull it...
