Here are a couple of pictures of full size rocker arms.  I don't see that either one has a washer but I'm sure some do.
I like the looks of the nut with the washer and yours is just a bit smaller!

Thanks John; the pictures were helpful.

I'm going to call this nut good.  It's .032 thick, .080 across the flats.

The whole thing looks great Bob. I'm anxiously awaiting your and Bill's first pops.

Looks good it does, but, I was about to say, I wished GM and Ford had used your style nut when I was learning how to adjust valves. The wrench bouncing off of those thin jam nuts was bad, but, I remember keeping the screwdriver in the slot was tricky also. I remember watching an old mechanic, you know, non filter cig hanging out the corner of his mouth type , and he wasn't having any problems. I asked him how he did it and he said his hands shook enough to get in rhythm with the rockers

Thank you very much George.  I still have a long ways to go for the first pops.  I just have to keep "chipping away at the stone" and I'll get there.

Eric I wound up making it as a plain jam nut.  I still have the other one as a back up.

Eric, that sure brings back old memories but son you forgot the part about the oil spraying all over your arm and face.

Excuse the deviation Bob. George, remember that oil smell when you were in a hurry for a date and you tried to cover it with Old Spice or English Leather, depending on age    Back to you Bob

No problem boys.

Thankfully, my 5.0 had hydraulic roller lifters.  The aftermarket heads were stud mount rockers and setting them was snap.  Put the cam on the base circle, tighten the adjuster until the pushrod rolled inbetween your fingers without any up and down movement and lock her down.  All done with the engine off.  The only killer was turning the engine over by hand to set 16 of them.
