GS,
Don't know if I mentioned this earlier in a different post or not. Hughes
Engines is a great company to work with. They didn't give up on my problem.
They went back and worked up a spring and retainer combination to work wit
the Mopar rockers. I'm guessing they should be showing up at my door either
today or tomorrow. I'll post the outcome after I get them installed, and
check the height.

Sounds good to me Rich. For good roller rocker adjustment info
go to Cranecams.com. Check out their tech info for a good how
to. I installed the Mopar roller rockers made by crane and they
were a pain, but worth the trouble. Frank Holloway also gave us
a great thread last year on my installation. To bad the Hughs
springs, retainers wouldn't work with them.
