Never heard of that one before, I remember they had to have auto transmission fluid in them for the pistons to work. I modified a second hand choke system for them from a wrecked double six Daimler. (V12 Jag)

As Mick states they were better for chasing torque with a mild cam. From memory I used a 28 68 cam with hyd lifters. Wasn't chasing horsepower.

Bent 8 that horse truck wasn't a Mercury by any chance.
