Update since the bending pushrods action;

Cleaned rocker arms/balls/studs of any corrosion, replaced all bent pushrods, changed oil and filter, Installed rpm/oil pressure/water temp/voltage gauges, also got the calibration kit for the carb.
Gonna start by rechecking/setting total timing, then play with the carb..since I've cleaned all the corrosion off the top end the car idles/runs much smoother..I'm excited to get the thing tuned in

Oil pressure might be suspect though sits around 35-40psi no matter the rpms

Still lots of progress to be made but atleast she is drivable now, drives smooth and straight down the road just loud af. With open headers. (Still need an exhaust)
