<VV> Want more oil to your rockers?

[James Davis]

The top picture is of a GM/Delphi lifter.  Only GM/Delphi uses the 
chilled iron lifter foot spun welded to the steel body.  The parting 
line on the lifter is the dead giveaway.  They are still available from GM.

"There are but three domestic lifter manufactures: GM/Delphi, Stanadyne, 
and Johnson Controls.   The rest are imports and suspect in quality.  
Yes, you can still buy lifters that fit your Corvair from GM.(PN 5232720 
each, or PN 12371044 for 16).  They are unique as foot and the body are 
made from dissimilar material; thus, there is a distinct parting line or 
discoloration near the bottom of the lifter body".  The Quote is from 
Steve Magnante made in 2006 in response to my question.
