Pac thanks for the heads up. I'm wondering if any other vendor makes a (known) good one.

the way i found out i was having this problem is my motor would not stay running, i'd pour a little fuel down the carb and she would fire and then a few seconds later, my engine would stall, at 1st i thought it was the fuel pump but when i dropped the fuel pump, the pushrod wouldnt come out. after finally removing it, it lost a good 1/4" and it was totally mushroomed, i saved it for years over my kitchen sink, i just threw it out a few months ago. i think i put another MP one in, i havent had a problem yet but i think i need to inspect it again.

Jegs Chev push rod - Precision made from 4130 chrome moly tubing. Made in the USA.
Moroso - Lightweight design with hardened ends reduces reciprocating mass
ARP - They're made from premium grade aerospace chrome moly and centerless ground to precise diameter. A hollow core serves to reduce the reciprocating mass.
Barry Grant - Special lightweight high strength tubular push rod.
Comp Cams - Lightweight tubing with bronze tip for steel cams, Lightweight tubing For cast iron cams.
Manley - These pushrod is made for 4130 chrome mole steel tubing.
Carter - Chromemoly
Crane - Chromemoly
MP - Chromemoly
Crower - The Crower fuel pump pushrod is manufactured from lightweight steel tubing that is heat-treated for added strength. The bronze tip ensures proper surface mating with the fuel pump eccentric lobe on 8620 steel billet camshafts. This surface compatibility eliminates the wear problems associated with stock designs. For cast iron hydraulic and solid cams they offer a lightweight model with a steel tip at each end to protects against wear.
Well I guess I'm going to have a crack at making my own, from my experiance & the horror stories I hear here I can't do much worse than MP

What is the diameter? If it is a common size, maybe a guy could get a drop scrap of O1 or other good tool steel from a machine shop. A drop that length might be free. Or they might cut to length for a nominal fee. Just a thought...
The one I took out was a couple of thou under 7/16"

After all the talk on this thread, I pulled out the new one I put in this February along with a new fuel pump and vapor separator.
Be aware - it was starting to hollow out on one end, this after less than 600 miles. The old rod had been in up to 103,000 miles (I've put on 3000 miles since I got it so at least that many) and there is absolutely no wear on the face of both ends. Got the rod at Mancini's just before Christmas so the current batch is highly suspect. Calling Mancini to alert them to the situation. Thanks for all your help. Saved an engine.
What did Mancini say? I emailed them about mine and will report their response.
