Jack, before you do a compression check pulling the valve cover might
be quicker if it's the two bolt in top type. That will show a stuck
valve/misplaced pushrod/collapsed lifter right away. The only thing it
won't show is a burnt valve or blown head gasket (could be blown on the
outside instead of between cylinders?). Or even worse, a hole in the
piston. Of course it would have a lot of blow-by/crankcase pressure if
that was the case, should be obvious from my unfortunate experience!

Doesn't mean it couldn't be a bent or disconnected push rod as you
mention, that would be preferable. My luck or lack of it, it's a burnt
valve.

Hmmm... no one ever said anything about longer pushrods when I had mine
reground! Wait a minute... that's because the 196 has adjustable
rockers! 0.10" doesn't make enough difference with that engine to
require longer pushrods, plenty adjustment for it.
You had me going for just a minute! I bent a pushrod when one came
loose due to a stuck valve. Thethought ran through my mind that may
have been the problem, but then I remember I ran that engine with the
cam for 4-5 years with no problems until I parked it for four months
awaiting time and weather for a rear end bearing replacement.

I've had good luck with the T-shirt my wife bought from Richard Estermyer
several years ago. It has a bright, multi-colored picture of several
Javelins. I've had several people walk up to me at swap meets and ask about
Javelins or AMCs.

If their Rambler spinners, NOS and in New condition they will bring a respectable chunk of change on evil bay!
A lot depends on the actual condition as a lot of NOS stuff is scuffed from shelf wear and has pitted chrome etc;

Suck it up!!!!!
It ain't cool unless your leg shakes ! :]
Seriously a lot depends on the actual leverage built into the linkage. Some cars will assist better than others.
