roller lifters?????
Alright guys, I recently picked up a set of sealed power roller lifters from one of our local mechanics around our area. Im wanting to install them in my 283 just because i picked them up for 50 dollars. (*and the fact that i bent a pushrod and scarred a hydraulic lifter.*) i know im going to need the set of shorter pushrods but i got to looking at the part numbers and things arent matching up??!?!? they also dont have any horrizontal bars between intake and exhaust couple. i looked up the part number in summitracing, *part number, HT-2148 and up comes a picture http://store.summitracing.com/partde...8&autoview=sku ... this picture on the page is NOT what my lifter looks like.
mine looks like this-- http://store.summitracing.com/partde...w=1&N=700+150+
this says its for a 454.. umm anyone know whats going on? im thinking that i just wasted 50 bux!??!?!??

Those use a guide plate. Here's my 502 ...........
I don't know if small blocks use that or not.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
