Re: '55 F100 new project, new member
Hey Folks,
I have been “off task” on my F100 restoration for a number of months. But now I am back to it. As you can see in the images, the rotating assembly is built and the heads are on.
To remind you, this is a 292 with a stock cam. The pistons are 0.030 over for a 312 but the crank and rods are original 292.
Now, as I turn my attention to the rocker arms, I have found badly worn rocker arms as well as the threaded adjuster that rests on the end of the push rods. (See images)
So, I need rocker arms and adjusters.
I already have a pair of new rocker arm shafts from Mummert, along with Mummert’s kit of springs and washers. And a complete set of “stock” push rods. The push rods are Mummert’s PR-1221-HP, LONG Pushrod for 54-55 and 60-64 heads.
Where should I look for rocker arms and adjusters?? This is a stock build. I just measured the rocker ratio at 1.37-ish. They all appear to be the same. That said, I have no reason to believe that the rockers I found in the motor are correct.
If it matters, the block is an EDB-E casting and the heads are ECL-C
