    1968 Car cover suggestions?

    +1 on California car covers. They are the Cadillac of car covers. Keep in mind that putting them on and taking them off kinda "scuffs" on the paint a bit. Nothing to worry about, but you will need to touch with wax a bit more to keep her perfect! Rob

    . Triple "B's" Garage

    Arlie, Those are positive locking rocker arms nuts by using a allyn in the middle to lock them down. Vice an interference locking nut. More common on solid lifter cams, but they work just as well for hydraulic lifters. Rob
