Re: Identify these rocker arms!

I would guess, "Comp Cams" ? The "1.6" is the rocker ratio.

You might have issues with running them on your stock heads; self-aligning vs. non self-aligning, pushrod hole clearance, rocker cover interference, etc.

Someone else with more knowledge with engine mods will probably chime in with better details.

We had those in our 67 race car. They hold up a lot longer to high lift, solid roller cams than the aluminum rockers would.

To OP,

you could most likely find these used on racing junk or a similar site as well. They are totally rebuild-able and I would thoroughly check the bearings for wear or corrosion damage prior to installation seeing that the rockers you have might have seen some corrosion or stored in a damp place.

Ill check that racing junk out. The rockers look in good condition i think they were never put on just need a little cleaning but they seem fine. So these would be the old model for the ultra pro mag?

Re: Identify these rocker arms!

Yes they would be the old model. We bought our set back around 1998 time frame after having run a set of aluminum roller rockers for 4 seasons and noticing the arms were starting to crack near the center bearing housing.

From the picture it kind of looked like water spots on the rocker arms so that is why I said to check them out. I really like the Pro Magnum for racing applications and they seem to hold up really well.
