Technical Little Oldsmobile Help ?????

I know there was a HUGE thread on Olds, if this stuff is covered there, please direct me to the link...

SO....I know this Starter Relocator will fit 303 / 324 / 371....BUT ???? Will it fit 394 ???????

Also, I have photos here of Adjustable Rockers for Oldsmobile....I have been told they will work
on a 324...and others say they will not....I am REALLY ignorant on these...Any and All help will be much appreciate....What They Fit or Won't Fit....etc etc etc

THANKS IN ADVANCE

 

I don't know if those rockers are Olds or not. They really remind me of my Y block Ford. But if they work on a 303 they work on a 324. Never had a 371 or 394. Those were late model engines and out of my price range.

 

When you look thru the stand in the large hole, can you see part rocker arm shaft p***ing thru the stand? Those rockers could 1.5 or 1.8 ratio, the latter being popular on the 324's. Maybe Frank @F&J or @Paul will see this and chime in.

 

Those are Gotha rockers that originally were listed on the box as fitting "52-58" if they are 1.8 ratio, which from what I can see, they are the 1.8. They would also work on 49-51 engines to replace factory 1.5's. Gotha did also make 1.5's

These need different pushrods that have a cup on the top, to fit those ball end adjuster screws. Gotha offered new pushrod tips that would be pressed into a cut/shortened Olds pushrod.

Some threads warn that these ''self locking'' adjuster screws might loosen up if they had been adjusted too many times, as they don't have a locking nut.

 

examine carefully,
in person if possible.
if the threads are worn at all they will not stay in adjustment and new screws may be very hard to find.
in picture 1777 it looks like there may be galling on the shaft where the tower (stand) is missing, new shafts are not cheap.
the intake screw at the same location looks like it may have excess wear at the ball tip, brown with ***?
you can see the clearance hole exposing part of the shaft in the stand with the pin in it in picture 1776 identifying them as 1.8 ratio.
missing stand must be replaced with same 1.8 ratio stand

 

FOUND the pushrods with the funny cup tops !!! Also found the broken stand...CURIOUS ???
Can a stock stand be machined to work for the broken one ????? I thank everyone so far with their
comments.....I appreciate your time and your expertise....
