Flip, What your ol'bud Bernd said. I installed the 1.6:1s
on mine for a stable valvetrain period! This was the Mopar
rocker kit which included new thick .080 pushrods and guides.
Crane makes the rockers for Mopar and I totally agree with
Dester....They could have made the studs with a hex on the
base so you could torque THE STUDS down easier.
