Hi Terry,
I used a remote starter switch, about $6 from autozone, etc.
Connect a remote starter switch - find the connector on the single
brown wire at the rear of/under the battery, disconnect it and attach
one lead to the end going to the starter. Connect the other end to the
ground lug on the breaker box next to the batt (it won't function unless
connected here).
Bump over the engine until the intake valve "just" closes on the
cylinder you are working on. This will insure that both valves are
safely closed. Now it's OK to pull the stock rockers from this
cylinder, install your rockers, and adjust them. Repeat 7 more
times.
