Ok guys, i told him i would send businesss his way, he is out of Iowa, the packaging was great, fast shipping too with a tracking #, the rockers even came with an inspection certificate, the place is:
KMJ Performance: Ames, Iowa
515-233-3288
www.kmjent.com
I will say i'm VERY impressed with them, now i was told they are SA rockers, not NSA, they have "steps" where the roller rest on the valve stem to guide it, unless i have it all wrong lol, so please clear it up, are they SA or NSA, i also bought some studs from him, they are not "bossed" (desisned with a socket head), meaning its a straight through stud with different threads on both ends, with a blank space in the middle, i'll take a pic & post them, let me know if they will work or not.
Ok, i got to reading the installation, they do mention guide plates, so maybe they are NSA.

I do agree that they look like alot like Pro Mags.

They look non-self aligning based on that picture. The roller on the end will have tabs to keep the rocker arm in place if it was a SA rocker.
Any reason why you didn't go with 7/16 instead of 3/8 since you'll need guide plates anyway?

Ignore the post above, based upon the second picture they are most certainly SELF-ALIGNING, ie, you do NOT need guideplates...
As a SA rocker they will make a little more 'sewing machine' noise when the engine is running, but no biggie...

I figured they were, the seller said he double checked before shipping, i'm not real concerned about them being SA, Lloyd Elliott told me to go with them & don't worry, he has built many engines running SA rockers. I got to looking at there NSA's & you can see they have no legs.

thye look good.
i am just always skeptical of cheap priced rockers.
i have a set of miller mid lifts on my chevelle, and i would like to get rid of them because they have gotten slop in the rollers (tip and fulcrum). i am worried the bearings will fall out. and i only have about 2k miles on them.
but if Lloyd runs them, then they must be atleast decent.
