Push rod length?

Hi,

I've got a 65 330 with #2 heads (3/8 studs), I purchased an adjustable rocker arm kit from Rocket Racing.

With #1 cylinder at TDC the roller is almost off the valve stem, the push rods I received were Trickflow 8.50 long, do I need shorter ones?

The factory ones were 8.25 long and putting them in seems to put the roller closer to the centerline of the valve stem.

Regard,

This is why I never sell a rocker setup as a full "kit". It's always best to measure first.
Call john back at Rocket and tell him what you posted here. He'll exchange them I'm sure.
