I used to use the A-969R with every hydraulic GM engine except Pontiacs and they worked fine. The pushrod button was a little shorter on the A-817 but, in Chevys, that didn't seem to matter; Mercury Marine also used the A-969's.CamKing wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2023 1:41 pmThat's a good question, but I don't know the answer.
I don't really get into those older, less popular engines.
Almost all the lifters I sell, are one of these part#'s: 817, 900, 992, 998, 2000, or 2011.
I really haven't studied the other lifters.
Next time I talk to the Hylift Johnson engineer, I will ask him about the crowns.
I don't know if Hylift Johnson even manufactures those lifters anymore.
