My '57 has been making tappet noise since I got it. Decided to adjust the tappets today, and all but one was OK. The problem one had about 1/8" clearance and was about out of adjustment threads. Upon closer examination of the adjustment screw, the ball end of it was about 1/2 worn away.
In looking through the vendor catalogs, for part 6549, only Hill had a listing, but they appear to be replacement parts with a lock nut. The original screws were self-locking. Has anyone out there replaced these adjustment screws, and what did you use?
Thanks, Ralph
