So, you found TDC for each cylinder and then adjusted the lifters for that cylinder?

If you're willing to try something, this is another way to set the lifters that may eliminate any issues:
-Rotate engine to TDC-Adjust #1 ex & int, #3 ex, #5 int, #7 int, #2 int, #4 ex, #8 ex
-Rotate 180 degrees to TDC-adjust #3 int, #5 ex, #7 ex, #2 ex, #4 int, #6 int & ex, #8 int
-Rotate engine to TDC-Adjust #1 ex & int, #3 ex, #5 int, #7 int, #2 int, #4 ex, #8 ex
-Rotate 180 degrees to TDC-adjust #3 int, #5 ex, #7 ex, #2 ex, #4 int, #6 int & ex, #8 int
Or it could create issues if he has a 4/7 swap cam?
Yes.
OK!!!!!! Lets have the drum roll for the winner. 427John. It was the coil. It was a brand new POS from China. Got an old rusty Delco that I almost
threw away. Put it on and bingo. Problem solved!!! Pulls hard all the way to who knows where( No tach yet). I was fooled by my own experiences with floating lifters. Sometimes its better forget what you think you know. Thanks again for all the in the forum, and a hardy hand shake for 427 John.

Thats what i have been talking about these aftermarket parts are killing us just went through a long and winding disk brake conversion on a 67 camero to make a short story it was a new fautly china properation valve that was causing the problem,put a used gm 40 year old valve on and the problem was solved.
It was over by the liquor isle.....
Next to the bullets, barrels, primers and powder????
