I scoured the shop looking for my pushrod length checker, bugger lost it I guess. I made this from 3/8 crs, turned the end to 5/6 and radius with a file. 1/4-20 ready rod, made one two, and one three inches long, and a nut for a lock. Other end bottomed out tight. Worked well. Exhaust need to be 8.9, intake 7.9, called Summit and had to talk to tech as these are non standard. Maddox was very cool dude, has a 70 Chevelle with a 454 and t56, kinda like I am doing with the 64 Nova, so learned some from our 44 minute conservation. Gotta say Summit racing has the happiest people, to talk to. I ordered Manley brand push rods. That is the last of the internal parts. One ARP head bolt had a bad head, so called them and will get it tomorrow, then the head is done on torque. Getting there. If you look closely, you can see where the roller lifter is centered on the valve stem.
