It was and it still is. 1.73:1.
You multiply the cam lobe lift by the rocker arm ratio.
1.5 is a Chevy small block ratio. 1.7 for a Chevy BB, 427.
Ford 289-302-351w is 1.6.
With a .605 valve lift, you would have a .3479" lobe lift with a 1.73:1 ratio.
With a 1.70:1 ratio, the valve lift would be .595".
With a 1.80:1, it would be .629".
The duration of the cam stays the same. Just the lift varies with the change in rocker arm ratios.
