    Short and sweet. I have a 1965 289 out of a Falcon. I need to know what to set the valve lash at.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hmm... it has adjustable rocker arms???

    If it does, it could be a Hi-Po 289?

    Probably not, the early SBF 221,260 and 289 used up to May'66 used adjustable rockers to see the difference in a Hi-Po head (which I have on my 302) click on this: www.mre-books.com/interchange/interchange5.html and the difference in rocker arms is here in pics also.
