Anyone know where to get the right pushrods for my 215? Sealed Power 3021 are listed at 9.8 inches which would be a little over 9 3/4. When those arrived they measure 9 5/8. That difference won't allow the adjusterst to go far enough to make work.

 

It appears there was a change in pushrods sometime around 52 - 53. See below, the newer style at 9-43/64" sounds like what the Sealed Power ones are. Don't know what the earlier ones measured. Do you have the old ones? Note you likely need to measure from the bottom/inside of the cup, kinda tricky.

 

Thanks Ross. I put the rusty originals back in. They were actually 9.8 overall length. The shop manual calls for 9.8. Sealed Power 3021 say they are 9.8 but are 1/4 inch shorter than that.
