Melling MRK434 for the 1.5:1 and MRK532 for the RA IV. They will run forever even without any rollers.

I'm pretty sure I have a few sets of NOS 1.65 factory rockers left, minus the balls, if you're interested.

You can still get them from Melling.
Bought a full set about 1 month ago from Internal Engine Parts here locally for a 350 HO in a 68 Firebird we have the engine out of at work. Butler also carries them as well. |

I still remember being told using wheel bearing grease on my upper shaft bushing was wrong. Now it's right but 15 years of use proved otherwise long before... |

Got a set 1.5 set from butler coming. Seems a 1.6 stamped set would be a good seller?

I would think 1.6 would put 1.5 out of buisness, ... If they quit making 1.5 at this point in time who woud cry ? ... There isnt much downside to 1.6 not to much of a chance of a crash and pushrod holes dont need to be worked and a bit more lift to be had

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
