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) Attached image(s)

Hi Aaron, Let me get this straight....if you grind the rockers down...do you still need the shims? If so do you have a pic of where the shims go?
