Re: [AMC-list] time to find a stout 5

Duh! Yes, you're right Ken!! No studs, bolts holding the bridged rocker 
pivots on, just like the sixes. I was thinking about the earlier V-8s, 
some had press in studs some screw-in. Don't recall what years. I don't 
have near as much experience with the V-8s as the sixes. Basically stock 
rebuilds with some mild cam/intake/carb upgrades.

"around 74+ used pressed in studs with bridged rockers"

Weren't these the one-piece-for-two-valve aluminum bridges - bolted to 
the head, no studs? Around 1980 they realized the mistake of using 
softer aluminum and changed to a 3-piece steel setup.
