I never would have guessed that would be a problem. Try Job Lot in New York City. They may have some NOS stuff. Richard

Jim, Dennis Carpenter has the 8BA-9400A, push rod in stock today(5 April) and the bushing, 8BA-6025. You should be able to order. I got them about 2 months ago and are of good quality. I ended up not needing the bushing which is not easy to replace. Good Luck, Don

The number I have for the 49-53 fuel pump push rod is EAB-9400, 10 1/16", $15 at C&G. (800/266-0470). Unless the bushing is missing or worn, I wouldn't change it. When the stock pump is removed, the bushing hole may be plugged, or the rod is left in place. The opening goes directly to the camshaft, and without a rod or a plug, the oil pressure will be affected. Removing or installing the bushing takes some special tools, such as a slide hammer.
