I have a 1955 Fairlane with a 272 cu in. Should the rocker arms have a screw and lock nut for adjustment or just the other type. When I bought the car it had the other type. I guess you can use either one. I adjust the valve lash while the motor is running. Much easier with the other type of adjustment screw.
