Swadged pushrods hard to find
Swadged pushrods hard to find
Hey folks,
Ive got a 1967 dodge coronet 440 with a 273 that has never been apart. I pulled the top end to find that the valves are in bad shape and some of the pushrods are broken or bent. I did the head work, cleaned everything, had the heads surfaced, and changed the valves. The problem is, i cant find the right pushrods for this rig. I got some off eBay that were wrong. Then i went into my local auto parts store to have someone else order them and got them wrong again... twice. This is frustrating me. It seems that a 7.510" pushrod with a 3/8" od and a 5/16 swadged end would be normal. But i cant find them anywhere. Does anyone know where i could get 16?
