Thanks Larry.  Now I have to find 7 correct tappets.  I found a chip in the bottom edge of one of the correct tappets.  Also the cup end of the 8 hole tappet is 3/8" diameter.  The 3 hole tappet cup diameter is smaller.  Glad I asked questions.  Love this list.

Hi Mike, the 2 on the left look like the originals to me. Originals had the cast chamfer in the holes. You probably should also check your pushrods as well. The cup end is 3/8 but the ball end is 11/32 on the originals who knows what the aftermarket cam followers will be!

Regards
