Watch out for the adjusters from Falcon they are so soft they wore noticeably by 1-200 miles.  Had to replace them with some stock friction types and am now trouble free.  MIKE

The friction type pushrod adjusting screws are the same as those used in the 332-427 Ford FE engines.  I believe they are still available at many auto part supply houses.

I have both locknuts & hexhead friction screws (belt AND suspenders). Heavier valve gear, but easier to adjust accurately. And, adjustment never seems to change (aside from expected rocker/valve tip/iron seat wear).

I agree with Gerry, stay with the better lock nut type, it's muchhhhhhh better!!!! and more reliable.

My thoughts you are better off with the lock nut type, the others have been known to back off when they get to old and worn.  Gerry

If you put your town and state in your signature

help might be closer than you think.

can the pushrod adj screws be replace with the type that doesn't need a binding nut, using the old rockers? If you can were can you buy them? I look at mummert site and didn't see them
