I appreciate the help. I'm trying to make this as reliable as possible since the idea is to take a little trip with my wife for our 10th anniversary next summer (2016). However, I'm don't have a ton of money to throw at it, and I like to work on projects myself.
By what I see here (
http://www.1954advance-design.com/W...1948-57-rocker-arm-lubrication.html#1954), the tube coming from the rocker shafts should stay inside the valve cover. I'm thinking I should pull the cover, pull the rocker shafts, and check the lines to make sure they are not clogged. Then see what exactly is going on with that tube going from the rockers over to the oil pressure tap on the driver's side. How does that sound? Does anyone sell that center section of the rocker arms (the oiling tube)?
