What are Coke bottle lifters?

They are the lifters unique to the ARDUN conversion, named because they look like an old glass soft drink bottle. Each has a cup at the top for the rounded end of the push rod. They are very tall, and Steve explains that the height sets the push rod's angle to the rocker arm so it can come up through the holes in the block and head and clear everything through its travel.
