rockers and rods I know this questions been asked possibly a hundred times. But I would like to know what length hardened push rod for my Lt. Don't know wat is needed to know but has cc503. And everyone out my way goes with summit brand rockers. Are they fine? And another do I need guide plates. Going to summit soon so any response is appreciated. Thanks

7/16 studs and guide plates, hardened pushrods of stock 7.200 inch length, and non self aligning rocker arms are the best path to take in a stock headed street car. I would advise against the Summit rockers though. Everything Summit sells is a rebranded product from someone else and the rockers seem to be produced by Proform. They may work okay in a street car but I'd suspect that they wouldn't live very long with any RPM.
IF you were stock cam, 7.2 stock length is fine. Going aftermarket, I would pick up a pushrod length checker, measure the length, then order the pushrods. The length checker is only like $9.
