How can I tell the difference between 7/16 and 3/8 studs
I honestly feel stupid for asking this, but I have a set of GM 1.6 rockers and I need poly-locks for them, But I don't know if they are 3/8 or 7/16th studs. 
anybody have pictures of the two?

Are they the GM LT4 rockers (silver with little bowties on the tips)? If so, they're 3/8".
EDIT: If you order a set from Jeg's, get the set that is for a 0.550" wide slot. The 0.600" wide ones won't fit the LT4 rockers.

Yes, the end that the rocker goes on is thinner. 3/8" and 7/16" refers to the size of the hole in the rocker arm. Stock rocker studs are 3/8".
