    Frank,
    I'll be putting a set of TA Roller Rockers on my 350ci this upcomming summer. I've heard a great deal of positive things about these rocker arm assemblies and TA in general. Unfortunately as Buick owners we don't have a lot of companies supporting us with aftermarket parts. Fortunately the few we do have produce high quality, reliable parts.

    You can use the stock rockers and you'll be fine, BUT, I'd definatley check for proper lifter preload. Buy or borrow a "pushrod length checking tool" adjust it to "zero" lash, lock the jamb nut, then take it to your machine shop where they'll measure it, and add .030 to the length you came up with and then order the proper length pushrods. The TA rollers are nice, I have 'em on my 350 with the 310 cam, Im using stock replacement pushrods, and adjust for proper lash with the adjusting nut on the rockers. You WILL have to grind the pedastals to get clearance for the rocker bodies, this is best done with the heads off the engine. Mark

    Stock 68 and 69 rockers will work, stronger than 70 and up stamped arms.
