Rocker arm adjustment problem SOLVED

Thanks to all who replied to me on this problem. Turns out my assumption that this 383 had hydraulic lifters was wrong. After readjusting for solids ( .020 intakes, 024 exhaust) the little darling fired right up. some fine tuning to do but all in all running strong. Thanks again

Glad you figured it out...

Thanks for the reply with what the problem was...Too many times a question gets answers but the OP never chimes back in with what worked.

I appreciate that you got back. Most don't. Did you close out the original post so that People with the same problem have a known possible solution?
