Thanks for jogging my memory about the 1.75:1 rocker- - - - -it just might be that we used a big block roller tip rocker on those hotrod 250's. I remember thay we found a compatible roller unit to duplicate the stamped steel original equipment rocker. There might have been some pushrod guide plates involved, also. One of my students built a hotrod 250 in a Chevy Nova, and his buddy with a Firebird with a Pontiac 350 couldn't outrun him.
