Besides the two different methods for adjusting, YBlocks also had two different ratios. 57 had the high ratio rockers. I think that the different methods of adjustment pertain to different years, not different models. I don't remember which years had which.

The correct rocker for 57 had ECG-6564 A2 (or B2) for a casting number. These were the high ratio ones. The low ratio ones had just a number of 6 or 7 digits The only place I know where to get the correct rockers is John Mummert 619-596-0312. John can tell you what years had which method of adjustment.

One of my friends told me that the 312 rockers for the Thunderbird was different than what the Ford passenger car had, is this true? May I ask what the part # is for the correct Thunderbird rocker?
