Seemed to me that an old GM Performance Parts catalog used to show a mushroom cam and lifter for a small block. Also, doesn't the tech guy sometimes tell you which lifter to pull at random?

Probably expected the Tech Inspector to say, "Just pull or hand me any lifter" :D

Me too, still have both; have used them when dialing port timing on two cycle Ski-Doo snowmobiles in my later years. No more hernia's from carrying heavy blocks and heads.
