    at 20 psi i don't think you have an oil pressure problem. shaking at idle would make me think vacuum leak or carb, not oil pressure

    Just scored a 78 Diplomat wagon.

    welcome! espo springs and things still has FMJ springs last time i checked. link: Spring and Suspension Specialists | ESPO Springs n Things Last time I checked they said they have plenty because of the low demand and wouldn't run out for years. Their website is sketchy but it's an honest business

    anything over 5 psi at idle is great on an old engine If you run it with the valve covers off, you'll make a huge oily mess but you probably can narrow down if a lifter is truly bad that way. You'd have to be a magician to do cam bearings while the engine is still in the car. Yeah, I'm sure...

    Are Ford Rangers about the right size? Plenty of those with 4.10 gears and Trac Lok

    I don't "need" it, I just replaced the 7 1/4 with an 8 1/4 sure grip last year, this is definitely in the hoarding category Because hey, what happens when I find another one of these cars that needs an axle?

    Rocker Arm Question

    LA engines oil through the heads, Magnum engines oil through the push rods. I'm no expert. I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

    Why do you need hollow push rods?

    If you have a Facebook account, there's video of it running also on the ad, and it runs horribly Those rear seatbelts are so you don't get sued by the rear passengers; they can't sue if they're decapitated by C pillar sheet metal ripping across their necks
