273 adjustable rocker conundrum..

But will they thread onto the factory adjuster screw?
Where is the "interference"? Is it the threads on the screws, OR the rockers?
The interference is in the rockers. You can pull them off the shaft and wrap them with a hammer to tighten the adjuster screw. And yes, the threads can be worn through 50 years of adjusting but the adjuster threads are softer than the rocker threads.
