Default Fuel pump push rod

Those of you that are running retro hyd roller cams and using mechanical fuel pumps, what push rod are you using ? and best place to buy one. I finally made the plunge and don't want to mess up my new cam.

Thanks

PZ

I have the Comp Cams roller pushrod in my 427ci small block with a billet solid roller cam, if it's got a wheel on I have it in my motor

I used a Moroso lightweight pushrod in my former 383 and present 427 SB. I believe it has a hardened end....it has worked well for me with both hydraulic and solid roller cams. If it's lightweight, it's in my motor.

Phil Zell, SmokinBBC is right, Comp Cams. I decided to use a bronze tip rod for extra protection against any cam wear. I'd rather buy a new rod over a new cam, but thats my two cents right or wrong.
