Default What pushrods are these?

They are black and say 2204 on one side and 7.400 on the other side. They were sold to me as TSP hardened rods, but TSP claims that their rods should say "texas speed and performance" across them. Was I scammed?



thanks
scott

TSP Rods definatly say Texas Speed and Performance as i have a set right in front of me. Unless they are really old before TSP began branding their rods i would think it's from another vendor.

Regardless of the branding you have good pushrods. They're probably sourced from Manley, though that's not a Manley branded part number. Don't sweat it.

Look like thunder's rods... I will check when I get home as I have a set of both TSP and Thunders... that 2204 looks familiar.
