Good Morning first time poster been on your forums for helpful information all the time and thanks. I am currently restoring a 1979 Datsun 310 wagon and had recently found some bent pushrods after doing a compression test that failed. Unfortunately the Melling MPR-348 Pushrods are no longer available and was hopping your fine contributors may have a lead on eight pushrods to purchase. I am in California in the Sierra Nevada's and have struck out at this point. These push rods have the non standard end. Another question is there any rocker arm conversion kits for a more standard ball style pushrod end for a more available push rod if none can be found?

Thanks,

Mike

Link to image of pushrod but not in stock at any parts store that I have found.

The easiest way to obtain them would be genuine, I assume. I'm guessing you have an A14? You can search "push rod" in the wiki and find the part number. I had to order two myself, and I used www.amayama.com. I'm not sure if you being in the U.S would make a difference.

Motor is a A12 thanks for the link could not find the correct pushrod on the site.

Welcome to the site.

Pushrods are readily available and were fitted to millions of engines. Nissan part number 13238-H1001

* HGM Forklift parts - buy online
* Buy online - Bprojects
* Picknpull in Sparks has a 1979 Datsun 210. If it has the A12A engine it will have what you need. Don't bother to call, they are completely self-service and you can remove the parts yourself

Would I buy used pushrods? You betcha, it is rare for them to fail they usually last forever. Causes of failure include too tight an adjustment or severe pinging

A 1979 in California/Nevada should have the A12A engine, which is bigger than the A12
Check your engine compartment ID plate



So you have a Datsun 310? Can you post a photo of the wagon? We like photos



The one in Sparks is a Datsun 210 (B310) but uses the same engine type as a Datsun 310. But if it has A14/A15 then the pushrods won't fit the A12A

Thank you for the info and links much appreciated. I called the guys at pick and pull and will have a chance to hit their yard in a few days. Ill post some pics soon, this datsun was given to me for free with 75k miles on it been having fun restoring it. Cheers!
