Any small block Ford gurus here?

Are you running pedestal mount or stud mount rockers?

I have one but the Adjustable nuts on it get hung up on the guide plates not allowing it to sit down on the lifters. I'm going to try removing the nuts and lightly crimp the rod to tighten it on the threads enough to prevent it from loosening. If that makes sense. Haha

Non roller cam stock pushrods measure 6.88 inches. Stock roller cam pushrods measure 6.272 inches.

Stud mount.

I have the file at work so I'll have to double check but the pushrods I was running were 6.805"' I think.

Your rockers may be adjusted too tight then.

Yeah, that seems to be the only conclusion I come up with too. It had been a while since I adjusted a set and thought I had it...guess not.
