Yeah, I realize that, but the lifters bleed down pretty quick, because these Rhoads lifters bleed down more than conventional lifters.

I thought I would try replacing my HEI module, and it "seems" to be doing ok. If this doesn't cure the hesitation, I only have the in-cap coil to replace. After this, I will consider tearing it apart to replace the cam and lifters.

So you think that the 1/16" discrepancy is enough to cause what I'm experiencing?
