Recall that pushrods come in two stock lengths:

• ~152mm: short-deck engines (A10, A12, A12A, and late A13)
• ~167mm: tall-deck engines (1974 A13, all A14 and A15)

Part Numbers

• 13238-H1000 ROD-push A12
• 13238-H1001 ROD-push A12 from 7110, also 1980-1982 A13

Both sets interchange with each other as a set.
