Loaded question... common area of confusion. The "base thread" is 7/16-14 (where the stud screws into the head). The top thread is 3/8-24 (where the rocker nut torques down to keep the rocker in place). This is the same for all Pontiac V8s through '79 (beginning in '67), with any head with "screw-in" studs. The Pineer rep[lacement part number is RM-357. Melling number is MRDS-939.

thanks for the info, I am installing a new cam and lifters, I wanted to replace the rockers, with some true 1.5 ratio ones, I wasn't sure what size the stud was, Do you know of any companies that sell non roller thats 1.5 ? either way I want another set.
