Default Guess I need guide plates

Well due to a typo I ended up with non self aligning rockers, Comp Cam 1018-16 (should have been 1015-16). Not all bad though, the NSA's seem to be more popular for performance aps anyway. I was hoping I could get some recommendations on which ones to get. I've seen statements on here that they're only about $30 or so but some I've seen are much more. The rod's I have are 5/16 (7608-16) and the heads are stock 643's. Part # would be most helpful.
Thanks,

Im not familiar with the number on your push rods, but they have to be hardened rods to work with the guideplates...WW
