Im slowly restoring a 55 Tbird that my father bought in 1974.

I recently had the heads gone through and did a clean and inspection on my rocker arm assemblys.

I have one rocker arm that that somone rethreaded years ago where someone must have buggered up the threads.  5 of the adjusters have some threads that craked off where the jamb nut holds them, but still "work".

Rocker arm to shaft play is minimal, My thought is replace the shafts and I will be more than good to go.

Im new to finding parts for old cars and am having a hell of a time locating a place where I can buy one EAN rocker arm and 5 of the jamb nut style adjusters. Any thoughts?

I dont mean to be a cheapskate but my goal is to get my 55 and 66 birds running as well as my model A before I get crazy with engine builds and such.  Too many cars too little cash.

Anyhow, need advice on how to proceed.  Will the newer style self locking adjusters work in the EAN rockers?  Can I buy the jamb nut style somewhere?  Where to get 1 rocker?

Thanks for any input Smile
