Actually, it was Macs antique auto parts. I was very dissapointed, especially because their cataloge had so many parts listed. Maybe, just maybe, I happened to get a bad salesperson, or just got unlucky, but I know that I will never shop there again unless it is an absolute last resort, and if I do I will ask to order from a manager or someone who actually knows what they are doing. Ya vell, whacha gonna do....

Could one of the lifters be wedged in the bore hole? Also, if the cam is in the open possition on one of the lobes, that would cause the open condition as well.

Would anybody happen to have the exact length of travel for a 352 lifter? Or, is there an easy way to measure it? Actually, does anyone happen to know what the length from the top of the lifter to the bottom of the stroke (with plunger removed) to check? That way, I could pinpoint my problem. You guys are super helpful, Thanks so much

You might want to compare to the lifters you already have.

Thanks for the help Hypoid. Quick question: Where do you find this information? Is there a book or manual or somewhere on the internet where info on things like lifter stroke and other obscure things like that are? I would love to get a book with all these types of things in it. Again thanks

So, to give you some real numbers for comparison, the shell measured 2" overall.
With the two parts of the plunger installed and bottomed out I measured 0.627" to the top of the shell. HTH
