So those in the know...how is this conversion done? I don't now the specifics so please tell me. I understand that the stock 74-76 2.0L cars use a larger-diameter adjuster and cannot accept the swivel foot adjusters because they are smaller. The needed parts as I understand it are:

* Rocker arms/shaft assemblies from a 1.7L engine
* Swivel feet valve adjusters (10mm?)
* Shims

Is all the above correct?
What shims do I need and where are they installed?
Is there further machining to do to the rocker arms?

All details please...Thanks in advance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
