I have a couple pair of towers that will work. The later model engines ('76 and on?)utilized more fasteners though. Ill check and see what I have.

Lobster,I don't have any towers for a 78. All I have is the early models,which fit,but use less hardware. They don't have the extra bolts that lock the rocker shafts in place.

Found the correct ones. The ones with the rocker shaft bolts that will directly replace yours.


Sorry for being so slow on this,things have been hectic,but that's still no excuse.


How's $35 shipped sound? As long as your not in some far away land


PM/ email sent also.Just wanted to post here in case the email got spammed.

I am posting this here just so that everything going on concerning this deal is above board. This is the PM I just sent Lobster concerning the cam towers I found. These were the towers that came out of the matic that I parted out.

Lobster sent the $35 via PayPal this afternoon. I went to clean and box up the parts and found an issue.

Here is the PM I just sent to Lobster:

"I've got bad news buddy. I was cleaning up the towers to box them up and getting them all sorted out and noticed the caps were mismatched. These towers came out of a running engine,but I have no idea how they got mismatched. I'm so sorry about this.I wish I would have caught it sooner.

If you want to use these I'll send them to you and refund you all of your money except the shipping. You would pay ONLY SHIPPING. If you decide you dont want them I completely understand and will refund your money ASAP. Whichever you want to do. Again,sorry for the delay and I'm real sorry about this current situation. I should have checked them out. My apologies- Eric."

With a little work, and a snap gauge, you should be able to figure them out. Besides I have seen them thrown in a pile and just put back on anywhere without any problems.
