Default rocker arm stud question
So I bought the comp cam 1.6 rr that mostly everyone is running. I have to switch to the 7/16 studs. I want to know the part number I need that everyone is running. Using stock valves covers, and isky guide plates. I called ARP, no help. I thought it should be better to ask you guys. Y'all have helped a lot with my build this far. Just takes a while for the response, I was going to buy everything today.

Thanks gentlemen, not what ARP was telling me. Talking bout I need to know full valve geometry, measure this and that. I'm like "you just can't tell me the product". It's crazy how these companies can hire ppl who don't know **** about engine building. For the gear heads all we know is go fast parts, and what works.

Exactly. Same thing if you ever try calling summit or jegs, learned that when I was first starting to mess with these cars. They hear LT1 and their brain turns upside down and sideways it seems, sometimes

ARP 135-7101. Those actually have the guideplate locator shank, unlike the other ones. Slightly more thread above the rocker as well. I run mine with GM guideplates and ARP perma-locs and they fit under stock VC's.
