1991 - Hydralic or Solid?

(sorry ahead of time if this is in the faq's somewhere, but i can't seem to find anything on it, faq's or posts)

Hey all,

I'm not sure on exact term to use, but basicly, is there any place i can go, or if somone knows where i can find out of my Camaro has Hydralic or 'solid' lifting rollers? From what i'm told, the hydralic lifters don't need adjusting (as it's done by hydralics ), but "solid" lifters need adjusted through the rockers.

I have a fairly stock 1991 Convertible RS, 305-TBI.



-Also, i recently had to change my radiator fan switch, but the only part anyone carried was not quite the same as i had stock. My stock one had a clip that just slipped on, but the new one has this plastic "shrowd" that doesn't allow me to do this!!?? ... Also, can i pull the correct connector from a 4rth gen or somthing? thanks...

You have a hyd cam.

You have to splice into the wire of the fan switch to get the new one to work.
