Stuart, Joe and all,
How about if there is no oil getting to the rockers?  What are my options, 
and what might be the problem?  My car is a '67 GT6.  All help is 
appreciated!  Its recently running but the heat temperature gauge isn't 
working and I haven't had time to work on it recently.  Sept is a busy 
month for a working mother of 2 in school.  A friend said he thought it was 
a bad rocker shaft.  If so what does that entail?  TIA
Jane in Boulder CO

there is less oil getting to the crank? Just a dumb question.
