I’m at the Holley Moparty in Bowling Green KY with a sick fish. We trailer my buddies barracuda here from Minnesota. I’m all off the trailer and started it up, heard a bad tick and shut it off. Turns out the broke the cup off a push rod so we are urgently looking for a 7.310” ball/cup pushrod.

Does anyone know of a speed shop in Bowling Green, Kentucky that could possibly have one? Or is there somebody we can call that will overnight them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
Not much help here, but who assembled the pushrods? Was the adjuster loose?

The jam nut was tight on the adjuster, Home, not really sure what happened. It’s my buddies car and he had over a speed shop for Dino tuning before we left and when were you unloaded it off the trailer there was a discernible tick so he popped the valve cover and discovered Cup broken on a rocker arm end of the push rod.

The trailer from Minnesota to Kentucky, which is all 800+ miles and it’s really stinks because he can’t run the car
 
Can you post a closeup of the broken area of cup. Sometimes the issue is no one put a chamfer in the rod, creating a stress point to crack. If that was the case, I'd be weary of using those at all
