Ok, I  ordered my Rhodes lifters, now for a cam to go with it. This goes 
in a '61  Rampside.


Bob,
Why oh why?   Rhodes lifters are a sidestep to the problems due  to the long 
duration race cams at an idle and low speeds. Besides, they tend to  be noisy 
at those speeds. You don't want a long dur cam, you want a short dur  cam to 
match your engines intended use.
 
May I suggest that you forget Rhodes lifters for anything but long  duration 
cams (read: RACE cams)  and use standard lifters for your  application.
 
Regards,
Bob Helt
