I just called Smith Bros. last week.
3/8" .120 wall , 5/ 16th " ball ends and .030 restrictors for 204.00 delivered and I had them in four days.
Nothing too fancy , but two different lengths.
I used them on my last deal too and I have nothing but good to say about them.

I really think that the pushrods being sold at 7.34 are more of a marketing compromise. OEM mopar tend to be around 7.22" (adj. rocker/hydraulic like 340 6 pack) or 7.50" (adj. rocker/solid like early 273).

There is also confusion about "how" pushrods are measured and which to use in discussions. I've seen them measured "overall", from top of the cup to the tip of the ball, as well as "effective", which is from the bottom of the cup to the tip of the ball.

I had to use a 5/16th" precision ground steel ball to measure effective length for my last set.
Not a deal breaker , but you don't want to drop the ball on this one.
No pun intended.
I magnetized it with a mag - de mag tool to keep it firmly in the cup as I checked them because I had no intention of trying to dig it out of a sealed bottom end.
