Re: Drippers?
BBC Tin drippers whether chrome or painted are noticeably different than non drippers.
The spot welds show up quite easily on the tops.
SBC Z/28 & LT1 Aluminium repros & NOS covers are polished instead of "Natural cast" which can be easily dulled with 3M Scotch brite pads..
The fine white ones , slightly used, are the best choice.
Off track here but useful info is: Any stock or semi-stock 302 benefits with the use of Drippers whether using 0 stamped or steel roller tip rockers.....as the oil splash is diverted to the Ball, stud nut area for constant lubrication. As most early 302's suffered Rocker arm failure, valve tip, lifter and lobe issues for lack of lubrication.
I'm not a fan of " I gotta have non-drippers" mentality...... you can't see the Drippers that are a huge benefit. Give me a Late '69 set or 70 style
LT1 drippers for a solid lifter 302 any day.
