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.

mikeT (10/6/2019) 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.

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

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