 Does anyone know where I can get these parts I need for my car whether theyre reproduction or used??

 

 I'm assuming I need the whole rocker arm and rod assemblies for the intake and exhaust..

You say they are broken? I had a 28 Buick standard with a broken tip off one of the rockers when I

bought it and it ran but had a miss because of the broken tip. I took the tip and rocker into AC spark plug

Flint and a welder put a carbon rod in the oil hole in the rocker and welded the tip back on. I sold the

car in the late 70s and the repair was still holding and ran perfectly after being overhauled, was a great

engine and the weld worked perfectly, Jim

one option is find someone selling off an engine or parts chassis and see if they will part out. Some of the sellers on craigslist are cleaning up an estate and may be willing offer you a good deal.

here are links to current craigslist ads for 1929- 1930 chassis in Idaho and Kansas
the 1/2 chassis in Idaho is the small series; not sure which series the Kansas chassis is
