What length adjustable pushrods???

Normally have great success over at Summit, but I'm having a hard time finding adjustable pushrods, and ones I DO find have different ranges. I don't know the ballpark length I need to start with???

Can anyone recommend a set? I guess I just need ONE rod, right?

They are cheap enough, I'd get:

I bought one years ago but haven't seen it since... If I can find it I'll send it you you at shipping cost. Edit: it's gone. Must have let some slacker borrow it.

Re: What length adjustable pushrods???

For most small blocks w roller cam, about 7.2 - 7.5" would be the range of interest. For a flat-tappet cam, 7.7 - 8". http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-7702-1/ will most likely do what you need.
