msra_chevelle Aug 20th, 04, 11:47 PM Is it a per year thing? Or luck of the draw when it comes to getting a short vs long pushrod mc? I went to four different retail stores looking for a short pushrod mc for my 69. Eveything I've come up with requires a long pushrod. Rather than go to the boneyard and pull a long pushrod, is there a year that is known to use the short pushrod? msra_chevelle Aug 20th, 04, 11:48 PM Short Pushrod: http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/MyPushrod.JPG Long Pushrod: http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/DeepPushrodHole.JPG Neal Wright Aug 21st, 04, 5:27 AM The best I could come up with was that BOP's used the short one, and Chevy's used the long one. I have an original '69GTO MC that is short, an original '70 442 that is short ... and an original '69Camaro that is long. When I went to Advance Auto and asked for BOP replacements I got short one's ... and when I asked for Chevy replacements I got long one's. See if that helps. Thanks, Neal msra_chevelle Aug 23rd, 04, 10:07 AM Went thru different years at the parts counter. 71 matched the shape and short rod of the unit that was in my car. Thinking I may try your BOP plan next and maybe get the correct looking mc for my 69. Thanks! | ||
