I have a y-block engine that has rocker arms that has the number 70 on one side and the letter A on the other. That's the only markings that they have. Can anyone tell me anything about these rocker arms? Would they even be worth re-using? Thanks for any info.

I guess I am just wondering what kind of rocker arms these are, since they have no familiar identification stamped on them. Are they good ones, or are they foreign made and probably inferior? I am planning to rebuild the engine and would like to know exactly what I am working with. Does anyone have any idea what these rocker arms are? Thanks.

1.53:1 rocker ratio
So, not as "high lift" as stock 1957 rockers?

I’m measuring off of a picture and guessing at the adjuster location so there’s going to be a given amount of error.  With all that going on, I’m surprised I even came up with the number that I did.  But in the grand scheme of things, these rockers are better than the 1.43:1 rockers and especially if you are just trying to upgrade from some worn out oem rockers.

Those rockers are for intake and exhaust or if you want intake only.

Hi!  I am collecting parts for a 292 build for a light weight fenderless truck, 5 speed manual   hot rod. I just picked up a set of new Barkers rocker arms for the intakes. does anyone have info on them such as ratio , quality ?

For the rocker ratio, this was a crude way to do it but I printed out the picture and simply measured from the shaft center hole to the estimated outside contact points.  I came up with a 1.53:1 rocker ratio.  Part of the ambiguity in doing this was in estimating where the rocker adjuster stud was going to be.

I don't know anything about them but I find it interesting. I'm not familiar with the company, I lived in Glendale from 1959-1969 just a few blocks from the address. I had no idea someone made HI LIFT rockers, but looking at the paper work it says Glendale 4, thats pre ZIP code so these are really early pieces.
