Question for the Max Wedge owners?

Question for the Max Wedge owners? - 09/23/13 12:19 AM

Take a look at the picture for me, and tell me if you think these rocker arm assemblies are 1964, 426 Max Wedge rockers.
I had these in the back of the parts cabinet for the past 35 + years, and i thought i rat holed away 273 rocker shafts, for some reason or other.
But these assemblies ARE NOT small block pieces.
The only thing that i can think of is Max Wedge.
I know the difference between shafts on the earlier heads with pedistals, and the ones without.
So I'm thinking 64 with these.
Thank's a lot.
Jim V.

Definetly not original Mopar OEM Max wedge rocker arms, those look like Sig Ersons or one of theother cheaper ductile iron rockers made much later than 1964 The original Mopar rocker arms are a lot wider on top of the rocker arm ridges

I agree they look like the old Sig Ersons.I have a set on my 440 now that I bought in 71.The adjusters are just like the ones that came with mine along with the springs.They are a interference fit type.Mine would come loose so I bought the MP ones with lock nuts.Rocky

Thank's guys.
I didn't even think of them, starting this post, being aftermarket, from some of the parts manufactures.
Appreciate the replies.
