my engine is stud mount

7/16 studs with an adjustment nut with an allen set screw in each nut.

aftermarkets toss the pedestal and fulcrum
if need be, drill a hole into the pedistal stand off and thread it.  OR, install a stud.
they insert a pin all the way thru the pedestal and the new stud horizonally to lock it in.

1966 / 289 heads worked over and milled to HP289 specs but with larger valves.
factory was 54.5cc but with larger than HP289 valves and milling included., it makes them have better numbers.

I've heard some of the pre-1977 castings were in fact stud mount.  Can anyone confirm either way?
