If you had let’s say a ideal geometry working with a 1.5 rocker and you switched to 1.65s which moved the cup .050” closer to the stud, then a .050” longer push rod should get you back to having hood geometry.
The bad thing once you get above a certain ratio is that the cup will be getting real close to the trunion and with enough spring pressure and cycles that’s where the rockers will break.

Thanks Steve, I understand that. I guess what I’m asking is, “is there a place to find what the distance from the reunion to the roller on a BBC vs Pontiac rocker arm.”
I spose they are all over the place & I wound have to mock everything up to know what I’ve got.
Thanks again!
