Hey guys I have a 1956 mercury metalist with a 312 in it. It ran good for awhile but I took it off the road for a t5 swap. And long story short it sat for 3 years. I got it started the other day. It's not running great, I know I want to change the pushrods because the driver rearmost pushrods is bent. Anybody know where I can get them? I just want to make sure I get the right ones. Any info helps thanks!!
