Phil, et. al.,
My understanding is consistent with John's: Keep the rockers withthe cam,
lobe for lobe, and you'll be OK. I certainly hope so, because I put a used
"B" cam into my car with the same rockers it was run with. Haven't fired it
up yet, but ....
I also kept the original "A" cam with it's rockers marked to match just in
case things don't work out with the "B".
