What's wrong with your old one?

If it measures to spec for length, use it again. The new ones are hit and miss, mostly miss for quality.

A buddy of mine has had 2 fail in 1500 miles. He just ordered a 3rd from Hughes who insists has the only one that won't fail but he'll tell you that about everything he sells

As suggested above, I ordered a push rod from 440 Source. Here is a picture of my original worn out rod next to an un-worn push rod. When the 440 engine in my '66 300 was rebuilt, we used the original push rod which appeared to be in good shape. I think the new cam and the original push rod were not compatible - which I think is why it wore out so quickly.

I’ve heard good things about the ones from Hughes so I’m running them in 2 cars now. So far so good.

Remember to treat the the push rod as a lifter, lube well with lifter break in lube. May not play well with old cam. My wagon ate two, it now has an electric pump back by tank.

If you have a parts store near you that has been around since the 70s or earlier. Try them. They should have push rods that were made in the US.

The manufacturers don't heat treat the pump pushrods as hard as the cam. It's better that the pump pushrod wears instead of the cam lobe.
