Geo,
I believe that everything on the rocker arm assembly is the same for
the 1300 engine to the 1500. The 1147 has a different assembly (up
through 1966, I think), but you can use later pedastals on the earlier
engine - they're stronger. So, my 2 cents, go ahead and use the parts,
if they're similar. I'd also check to find out *WHY* it broke, - a
piston coming up, hitting an open valve or something? Good luck.
