Stock... it’s a 727 from a 72, a suregrip 8 3/4 with unknown ratio from unknown car, a junk set of flowtech headers, stock weight, and tire size isn’t set in stone as I haven’t decided on a wheel yet, they will likely end up some sort of 17 or 18” wheel. , it’s currently riding on somE 205/75r14...

I posted a video above showing how much it’s moving

Pushrod looks straight. How would I diagnose the lifter?
