390 Oiling System

I just bought a 69 F-100 with a 390. I was cleaning some old gunk out from around the valve train when I noticed that my pushrods dont have the holes for oil passage. However, the rocker assembly has holes where it lines up with the pushrod ends. There doesn't seem to be much oil getting to the top of the engine. I read an article online concerning the FE oiling system but it didnt say how the oil got up there. Are these the right pushrods? I appreciate any help ya'll can give me.

You should try the FE engine forum for the most help. The oil comes through the rocker shafts.
