Right, I have a 428 that has the side galleys blocked off for my solid lifters and, as I recall, the jiggle pin that was in there for the hydraulic lifters was at the end of one of the side galleys. I looked at my old Ford Service Manuals and they don't even show the damn pin, so I can't be sure -- you may be right on this.
