SB solids/adj rocker setup I am assuming. You need the width or the OD dia (or both)?

Not sure when this is a problem, but the factory spring load assumes that the rocker will either have no side thrust at all, or thrust only against the stand shoulder. If your pushrod angle or rocker offset induces opposite thrust, that spacer should have an oil groove similar to a connecting rod shoulder facing the rocker, like an "X" .020" deep. Material: 660 bronze would be my choice. If I had nerves of steel I'd suggest a needle thrust collar ("Lazy Susan") for really high spring load, but IDK how fragile they are, and of course a failure (shower of hardened needle fragments going down the drains) is very bad.

OD-1.070" ID-.875 (7/8). Horizontle width-.353". What Bird said, there is alot of info on FABO if you want that rocker setup to be dead on. prepare to do alot of mixing & matching of parts/reclocking/changing orifices of the oiling holes in the shaft etc. reportedly those iron adj rockers are good.

These rockers were clearance and ratio adjusted for a stock eliminator cat that I had several years ago. Although defunked as a class, this is for a IHRA Pure Stock Dart that I am building. Thanks for all the input.
