Millermatic 215. I have the TIG equipment and argon tank. I just got brazing rod which I have excited to try out.

It means the axle end is tapered and keyed to accept the rear hub. It's not a single piece like in later years.

My Hughes rockers have been trouble free since I installed them on my 440. I did use the B3R geometry kit to get them centered up. Cam is a Hughes STL3842. Stealth heads.
