Wrong Guideplates?? Pictures below.
List of parts:
Comp Cam 7608 PR 7.200
Comp Cam 4808 GP
Comp Cam 1605 RR
ARP 134-7103 Studs 7/16
The guideplates stud holes do not align directly with the PR slots. The PR slots sit inside of the studs causing the rocker arms to angle away from each other. See pictures:
Is there another brand of guideplates or a different Comp Cam part number I should be using? I would like to find plates that have the PR slots that line up with the studs. And if I find such a GP will my push rods be angled like this: \ /?
I also was hoping to avoid the adjustable guide plates since I heard they are a major PIA.
Thanks

Like said above...
GM p/n 14011051 (8 needed) (good idea to check them with a file for hardness)
Trickflow Part # 30400623-8
or adjustable guideplates
Comp plates (SBC type) are not correct for LT1s.

I recently bought some of Summits own brand guideplates. I thought there was a good chance they were repackaged TrickFlow since TF is a division of Summit and alot of their parts are sold that way. I knew it was a gamble, but thought I would give it a shot since if they were the same the info could save everyone on here some money. Well.....they aren't the same. A visual and a comparison with a digital caliper to both TF's and to a set of Comp Cams show them to be more like the CC parts. I might mock them up one day, but if they don't work my friend will just use them on a set of GEN1 heads.
