LOL, I thought you were asking if a "74" /6 had solid lifters. My mistake, and yes I was adjusting valve since before 1974.
63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)

Correct. I've been workin on cars since I was 9.
You certainly can do that. The slant 6 CAN even be primed, but it's kinda convoluted to do it. Before you install the timing chain, you can fill her with oil and put the bolt in the camshaft and spin it up with a 1/2" drill and cut off 3/8" extension with a 5/8" socket on the end. But we're a little late in the game for that.
I have one more question(haha), on my cam card, it says intake tappet to be .022 and exhaust to be .012. Is this correct~ if so I can at least adjust the valves today. I'm waiting for one part before starting the engine.
Sounds backwards to me. You need more gap on the exhaust side typically. Maybe double check with the cam grinder...
Thanks, I just wrote Ken at Oregon cams to verify the tappet gaps;)
It's a reverse grind cam, so those lash specs are probably correct.
D clean out your inbox.
I would still wait for Ken to verify. He'll get back to you.gee, keep learning something new every minute

I'm good to go~

This is correct, that grind was intended for more action on the intake than exhaust. Those lash numbers are what I show for the same cam.
Go gold well worth the 40 a year!my how the inbox fills up so quickly! Thank you;)
