So I did some more work on this. New oil feed tube seal is installed and seats very tight (but it was originally as well). Cleaned up everything. Removed the oil feed tube and cleaned, blew air from the oil tube seal location into the block back to the oil filter - All is open and clear. I oriented the cam shaft to align the oil feed hole and blew air through - All is open and clear. New cup plugs installed in both ends of the rocker arm shaft - all was clean and clear when apart. I'm getting 40-50 psi depending on throttle position. I'm getting oil flow from the rockers to each push rod, but nothing coming out of the rocker pee holes on the valve and spring side, even when throttled up. I'm worried with no oil flow there.

Questions:
1. I noticed the oil holes in the rocker shaft are facing straight down. Is that the correct orientation? I'm not sure if someone rebuilt this prior to me owning. Just want to verify.
2. I have read that people have partially pinched the end of the oil tube that dumps oil back to sump from the rocker shaft Opposite end from the feed side. Has anyone done this or heard of that being done?
3. There is a circumferential groove in the rocker bore to feed the push rods. However, the pee hole that feeds the valve and valve spring side is off to the side of that and has no groove to internally direct oil to it. Should there be? (See Photo)
