Roger - how much were the roller rockers? What are 5/16-24 adjusters??
I've been rereading the Vizard part about 1.5 rockers and am thinking hard
about it. I notice in the APT catalog that 1.5 roller rockers cost twice as
much as 1.5 non-roller rockers - what is the advantage of the rollers?

I took the Sprite ( topless,of course) out to test the 1.5 roller rockers I
installed. It got up to 42 in Detroit with bright sun( not common this time
of
year). It pulled very well and seemed to be more responsive at the high end
(
I got it up to 70).
I got the rockers for TS Imports, and installation was OK except that they
take 5/16-24 adjusters that I got from Winner's Circle. Adjusting them was
weird, the "feel" on the feeler gage was different with rollers than
standard.
Anyone have this experience? Anything than I can do different?
I only got two looks ( what is that crazy fellow doing in a convertible in
weather like this) and two people that wanted to know the what year it was
and
other info about the car. I seem to get good questions every time I take it
out.
