84 rocker arm
Hey guys! So I need to get new rockers on my 84 due the fact that they keep pivoting to the side. Are there any out there that won't pivot that fit on the 84?
Ill try put a pics of the rockers later on today

The stock rockers shouldn't do this either, which leads me to believe you have some other problem that's causing it, like grooves cut into the rocker studs or worn pushrod guides, which on the 84 are machined directly into the head casting.

I just removed the stock head from my 84 I dont really understand exactly what you mean. The pushrods on the 84 if stock are guided only by the holes in the head where they come through if your rocker is falling off the side of the valve stem you may have bent pushrods or the slot may be worn in the rocker? anyway if you need used rockers or pushrods you can have the ones im not going to use. pm me

If the previous owner used non stock pushrods and opened up the holes in the head, then went back to the original style pushrods, or they exchanged the heads along the way, you can use the guided rocker arms from 86 1/2 to 91 corvettes and they will stay where you put them.
