if your rockers dont have a long enough slot, you need new rockers . . you can buy just 1 stud.

OH YEAH !

Got my rocker arms on and the broken stud replaced on the Mustang. I followed the directions of how they said to adjust the valves. But I didn't like how it sounded. So I did it old school method of running the engine and adjusting by sound....NOW IT SOUNDS FANTASTIC !

Saturday, will be putting the 3.55-1 posi-trac rear end and new speedometer gear in it. Currently it has a 3.00-1, so I think it will make a drastic change in the performance of it

Well I drove it home from work last night. Still have less than 800 miles on the car, engine and transmission. But I did floor board it when I was doing 40, and it picks up a lot faster than it did with the stock cam.

Will see how it runs tomorrow after I get the rear end in it.....
