Pull off the valve covers. Put an index mark with a black flair pen on each of the nuts. Back off 3/4 of a turn. Run it and see what happens.

You probably have the wrong pushrods.

I MIGHT have a partial set of original Ford pushrods for it here. Maybe? The signifigance of that would be I can give you a length on them.

I am thinking that it is the most likely culpret. There 68 pushrods are unique to the 68 J engine. You may have 69 pushrods. I have found many mistakes in the aftermarket listings including TRW. A 20 year old counter person won't even be in the correct century, so put away your service revolver before you get carried away.

I'll look in "the secret parts drawer" for the pushrods before I go out to work. I have all my fingers and toes crossed. (hard to type). Book 'em Dan'O.
