I don't doubt my sources but I'm sure interested in the advice any of you astute gentlemen may have.

The Chev valves are on different angles, I believe. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 181 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 181 | Thanks truckernix.
I did get a call from Anderson, Ca at Rocker Arms and they have new in the box 1.6 arms for the 216. That will meet my needs perfectly. Since I have gone on the site I have obtained so much good information and tips from the members that it really amazing.

I thought the 216 rockers were a 1.4 ratio. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,867 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,867 | Some GMC rocker arms will fit Chevrolet 216/235s. It's roughly every 4th one or some such. The only reason I know is that my 248 broke several rocker arms and I only had Chevy parts to play with so I went ahead and tried them. They fit fine, just a little different in shape/size.
Some of the rocker arms work, at least half don't due to the different valve angles.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions.
