Push rod is a push rod is a push rod......... Now, the quality of any particular push rod is another story. There are push rods floating out there that wear out way too early (guess they aren't hardened properly). Maybe someone will chime in on a quality product. I have never heard of a "special" push rod for a Carter High Volume pump..

I'm on my second MP pushrod now, and I can tell you it's wearing down like the first, since my fuel pressure keeps dropping. I didn't think it was possible to wear down so quickly. Engine only has 2,500 miles on it.

MP ones are junk... I've had good results reusing the 40 year old original.... It should measure 3.25.... If it's shorter toss it...

The end, they get shorter and as they get shorter it reduces the fuel pump travel reducing fuel volume & pressure so the engine starves for fuel...
