: lack of oil on some rockers

I recently replaced my cam, lifters, pushrods. When I first ran the car it sounded fine, now some of the rockers are chattering. I've tried resetting them hot and cold and even running. While watching the other day with car running I noticed that some of the arms had plenty of oil running down and others had very little at 2000 rpm. I don't have any idea what I need to do. Any help would be great!!!

Well I hate to say this but sounds like some of the cam lobes are going away. Did you prime the oil pump before firing? Did it fire up right away?

First off, that is an awesome 70 you've got!! I primed the pump and it fired right up. What would make this happen? The cam has been in there only about 1 month.
