    I have 1973 with 250 6 cyl. I wanted to adjust the valves, I was told that some engines had no adjustment any ideas?

    Thanks

    Mike

    Your engine does not have adjustable rockers. I you have to get the adj rockers off a 144 or 170.

    Check FordSix.com or Classic Inline for more info. You are staying with the six, you need "The Ford Falcon Six Cylinder Performance Handbook" http://classicinlines.com/products.asp?cat=73

    Thanks Rick,

    Rick, if I were to install an aftermarket cam would I buy the solid lifter cam or hyd cam setup?
