Re: Adjusting Flathead V8 Lifters
Should be a right and a left hand wrench. The tangs go into two of the 4 top holes to keep it from turning. If you are lucky, someone drilled a hole about 1/8" dia near the bottom of lifter boss in block. Poke an allen wrench into a diagonal slot in the lifter to stop it from turning. Way easier if you are so lucky.
