You may have to either buy, or make a set of adjustable pushrods to get the correct length. I made a set for mine. Just cut one end off each of the old pushrods, cut threads into them, then used some allthread (with correct threads per inch) and added jamb nuts so you can lock em in once you find out how long they need to be.
Screw the ends out as needed, lock the jamb nuts down, then remove and measure when setup is correct.
Probably too many variables for someone to just spit out a number for ya.

The best thng to do is to get a pair of pushrod length checkers.
This page tells you how to get the proper length using the checkers:

Good idea here but do they stay put?

John,
Good website thanks for the info. I guess I need to do some research.

Likwidsukr, I'm a little partial to Comp Cams stuff and have had good luck with their valve train components and large roller cams. The Dual Taper 7/16" .125" wall would be my first choice, while 7/16" .080" would work too. It sounds like stock length or Chevy tall deck(8.675") might work. Comp's book shows the .080" wall thickness for all of their large roller cams from .600" and up. You'll have to check the geometry for lengths needed..........Doug :idea:

I gave up on setting up mine. I took it to the shop and had them do it!
Some things are better left to the pros!

Good idea here but do they stay put?
Yes, they'll stay put. If you're using double or triple springs it's best to remove all but the outmost spring. It won't affect the check for length and will reduce the amount of pressure to actuate the valve. You're only turning it over by hand and they held fine for that.
No doubt the factory made ones like in John's link are probably more accurate and stronger though.
I'm a shoestring budget, garage/shadetree kinda guy trying to save a buck here n there when possible. It worked fine for my little hydraulic flat tappet setup.
