Either adjustable pushrods or adjustable OEM rocker arms permitted on any application, but not both. OEM roller rockers permitted ONLY if application was originally equipped with roller rockers"

The difference is now the rule says "Aftermarket rocker arm permitted. Either adjustable pushrods or adjustable OEM rocker arms permitted on any application, but not both.

Looks like stud mounted roller rocker arms for the OEM stud mounted engines and T&D's for the OEM shaft type rocker arms.

I don't like the rule but is seems pretty clear on what their intention was.
I wonder what will be acceptable for pedestal mount rocker arms like Olds or some Fords?
