fuel pump pushrod recommendations - 04/12/21 02:05 AM

I have two engines to assemble in the next six months. What is the recommended fuel push rod to use. I recall some discussion on possible poor heat treating resulting in premature failure. Thanks.

The Howards one works great if you're using a billet roller type cam.

Not sure if I will go roller or flat tappet. One engine will be leaning more towards stock build (440 and auto) while I am thinking of going with a bit wilder 383 build for my 68 Road Runner. I am thinking of stroker kit (432 most likely), aluminum Edelbrock heads, headers, etc. So ay go with a roller cam here.
