Got questions? We’ve got the answers—the Summit Racing tech department tackles your automotive-related conundrums. This week, we’re talking pushrod length and how to measure it! J.L. • Florence, AZ Q: I’m about to upgrade my 1969 El Camino’s valvetrain. However, I don’t want to go through the hassle of measuring the length for the pushrods.
