the 66 will oil the rockers through the rocker shaft via passages in the block + heads. make sure those are clear.
Just picked up this 1966 LeSabre 400, and the engine is ticking quite loudly. Engine seems to take throttle fine. 53000 orig miles, seems all original.
Should I be looking at oil pump upgrades, or swapping out lifters (without new cam?) ?

Thanks, Bob, I guess best to check the simple stuff first. I saw another thread a while back on TB that discussed this same approach; could have been your advice.
I'm used to the nailheads. My 61 starts great, catches a high del, a quick blip of the throttle and low idle, no ticking no drama. Guess these "new-fangled" engines are more fussy!!!
