Junk? 84 D150 440/727 79 /6 swb D150 1964 A100 window van. Just because it has spark plug tubes doesn't mean it's a Hemi. If ya haven't been there, ya just wouldn't understand.

I think they are nice. I spent alot of time with the shims to center them on the valves, as in this photo. 7775418-rb.jpg (73 downloads)

Glad to have good feedback! Bill 84 D150 440/727 79 /6 swb D150 1964 A100 window van. Just because it has spark plug tubes doesn't mean it's a Hemi.

I had to grind mine to fit . Also after about 1,000 miles my set started having the adjusters loosen up. It happened 3 times and I had to replace the adjusters with Harland sharp ones. But For the price of the link you posted you could buy a better set of rockers. I paid only $225 off ebay for my set. Also the prw rockers are really cat rockers.

I decided to not use them in my engine. Martin, 67 Charger, 512 cui, E85, MegaSquirt MS3X sequential ignition & injection
