I got the old girl up and running and it wasn't doing so well. I did a compression test and had 2 dead cylinders. I pulled the valve cover and found that 2 of the push rods had slipped off the rocker arms. It that a common thing to happen with the old 261's? I put it back together and she runs great now. Just need to finish a few things and she'll be going to work around the farm.
Here is a picture of the old girl. I guess just copy and paste?
