[4spdragtop]

Hi, looking for a set for factory adjustable rockers with jam nut.
Pics n price please
Thanks
Steve

Steve, just an FYI, the small blocks never came with lock nuts from the factory. They were interference fit with no additional locknut.

Thanks Rob, my wording ain't the best lol, but thats what I meant. Looking to upgrade the factory adjustable rockers.

Man, I think @RAT ROD AL has a couple of sets for sale.

 

[4spdragtop]

Yep, I already contacted him. I only need the screws/jamnuts tho. I got the last of his NOS rockers.

Gotchya. Just to be clear....are you wanting the factory pieces without the separate locknut? I ask because I have some for the slant 6 and I'm thinkin they might be the same, but I'm not sure.

Thanks Rob, a new set with locknuts, OR a set of jamnuts.

The 273s did not.

The 340-6 engines did, same adjusting screws and lock nuts as the 426 Hemi.

Steve , do you have the adjusters already ? Is it just your nuts that are missing ?

 

[4spdragtop]

Hi Mike, i have factory adjusters. I'm willing to go with just jamnuts, or a set of adjusters/nuts. Either way.
Thanks

I have several sets of both but the last time I got a quote for shipping to you it was insane !
BTW did you get that ignition bezel installed ?

 

[4spdragtop]

Hey Mike, shoot me an email to 4spdragtop@gmail.com with pics n price. I'm interested.
I havent had an opportunity to install the bezel yet as Cuda has been tucked away for a few years now. Sposed to go pick it up tomorrow tho!

I'm pretty sure what you want are 3/8 thread with a 5/16 ball, hard to find. 3/8 Ball easy to find.

Just to be clear we are talking about 273 rockers, correct ? 340 T/A rockers are not the same.

 

[4spdragtop]

Yes, 273 rockers going in a 340 tho.

Thought so. Some will say "no problem, running them for years .." They are not the same strength. The T/A rocker is obviously better. But you don't need them unless you are running a solid lifter.

 

[4spdragtop]

Curious why the offset TA rocker is "better" vs the 273 setup? I understand if going that era of 340, but I'm planning on a 340 with adjustable solid drivetrain.
Thanks.

Found some more....

I was thinking the 3/8 Hex heads were OEMs but from the above pic it looks like they were slotted .

Thanks.

I think they are beefier . And obviously wider .

You guys got it figured out yet? 24 posts and Steve still doesn't have any adjusters!
