A fellow here in town has a 235 that's in the final stages of being rebuil;t and needs 2 push rods. I have my 261 squirreled away -- If they're the same, I'll give him two out of my 261 to get him on the road and then he can find me two more later at his convenience.
Will it work?
Thanks,
John

There are 2 types that I know of. The thin ones that I associate with early engines and the tube type ones that I've seen on later emgines. They are the same length, the only difference is in the size of the cup at the top that the adjuster screw fits into. These are different from each other. That being said if you take hime 2 push rods and 2 nuts and screws from your rockers everything should interchange and work just fine. You don't want to use the wrong adjusters on the wrong push rods, the rods will break fairly soon. Don't ask me how I know.

The height of the lifters will affect the length of the push rods and that could be what "monkey wrench is talking about.
