Default pushrod help

First off I bent a couple of my stock p-rods and I was wondering if 4.375 is a good stock replacement. I've searched on here and finding that 7.400 is stock length but other guys measured them and came up with them being a little shorter than 7.400 I'm pretty stumped I don't have the correct tool to measure mine besides a ruler and tape measure. According to those its a little under 7.400 any help its my dd and my other car is down too.

If you have doubts order a Comp Cams Pushrod checker ($20) to verify. It's better to know prior to ordering then guessing.

You may have some confusion on how long due to the several factors that determine the length.

OEM length is 7.4"

If you have your heads milled, install a new cam, lifters, or new set of heads, even gasket height add all of them together and they will effect the outcome of push rod length.

The checker I mention above is the only true way to know for certain. I know from recent experience. I had to pay for 2 sets of push rods.
