am going thru lifters and pushrods (had one bend on me lAST summer) coil seeping oil i know chevy changed position on later sixes.question is can i move the coil on 50 now or is it too late because it has been facing downward for a long length of time

If it is working OK now should be OK to reverse it. The oil in the coil is for cooling.

THANKS GENE

do you have solid or hydraulic lifters?

solid lifter 216-manual
