I am arranging to have a custom adjustable pushrod length checker fabricated for me by the Smith Brothers in Redmond, Oregon. I will be using factory 1965 273 adjustable rocker arms and hydraulic (Lunati) cam lifters. I don't have access to any factory 273 pushrods or rocker arms this week because I am still on an extended road trip. Is anyone available to take any measurements for me? What is the diameter of the cup and ball of factory 273 pushrods and adjustable rocker arms? What is the factory length/diameter of 273 and 340 pushrods? Thank you!
P.S. I will probably order two adjustable length checkers for this application. If anyone is interested, we can probably make arrangements to make the same thing for you (or I can lend out my spare to those in future need).
Here is the message I need to answer:
"As far as making an adjustable length checker for you I will need to know what size cup and ball ends you need, also they have about .500 of range for checking so if you have a rough idea of the length you might be at."
