Roller rockers
I have some 1.6 roller rockers off of a small block chev. I think they are different than are 60 degree engines but does anyone know for sure?

Simple way to tell is to test fit them and hand crank over the engine.
I UNDERSTAND, there shouldn't be a problem at all, tho. Check coil bind, is the big suggestion, tho
How about the tach deal?
Still willing to help me out?
Dying to get your option in my hands!
PLEASE LET ME KNOW, Thanks

Supposedly the V8's rockers won't use metric studs, whereas our 2.8's use metric. I don't know what this means, though. Comp Cams has two different part #'s for a rocker arm between 305/350 V8 and 173/191 V6, the only difference is listing the V8's as having a 3/8" stud, the V6's have a 10mm stud.
As you might know, a 3/8" socket is pretty damn close to a 10mm socket. Comp Cams includes new rocker nuts with their rockers- is the only difference the new rocker nuts? The key question is is the slot in the rocker arms for the mounting stud the same size?
Bet that's more info than you needed!

Hey HotRod,
I JUST SCORED A COMPLETE DASH I NEED.
V-6 1984 Firebird, I literally ripped it outta the car! Dash was off and I just kept cracking the dash unitl I got what I needed, the whole thing!!
As I was walking out, I found the 4 hole dash cover I also needed, sitting in the back hatch of another car.
I may be going back for a fender, too!
I've been stripping it as I type this.
I found several Camaros in the yard, too, and the tach circuit board will not work.
Will you still be a buddy of mine?
