I have always figured out what length I needed 1st.... then go to Summit's site.....and type in that exact length in the search box...... i.e. 8.100 or whatever..... and it spits out lots of different pushrods to choose from. I typically get 5/16" .080 wall pushrods..... sometimes it is cheaper to buy a set of 16 (for a V8)..... you will have 4 spares should you ever need them.....

I'm sure there are vendors here..... like FullThrottle....than can also accomidate you as well....

On the adjustables..... Smith Brothers is the brand I am familiar with..... they are pricey... and heavy...... but is really the only alternative for valve adjustment when running a stock rocker....
