The PCV valve wasnt getting hit by the lifter either- maybe by the rocker arm but even that is doubtful- are you sure it wasnt just the check valve opening and closing?
Yeah sorry, I was of thinking about something else, and yea it was rubbing on the rocker arm... I pulled it and it was worn on the bottom, when I spaced it out the ticking went away, I could still feel the valve working as it should. Dont worry about sounding rude, it's just something I have never done and I always like to learn new procedures. I have replaced a lot of electronic ignition components, I know they make electronic conversions that just modify the inside of the dist. and I was just making sure it hadn't had one of those installed, I have never dealt with points and condenser setups. I just didn't know if the setup was somewhat simple, or a bit more rigorous.

Thanks.
