Esp. height? what is the correct pushrod length? we seem to have two sets? thanks! Mark 68 Charger, 383 HP console auto, spring green, stock restoration

I am taking the old ones over to the shop tonight and we will check whatis in there now. The guy who did the rebuild was not a hemi specialist....mostly does Chevys. I think I screwed up having him do the rebuild. mark 68 Charger, 383 HP console auto, spring green, stock restoration

The pushrods will be obvious when he assembles the engine, hope he checks for proper geometry and rocker clearance, alignment etc. Sheldon
