Skynyrd Man- Buy NEW 2-56 pushrods from the LHS, then you will know they are NOT metric and they should work OK with your metal clevis's. BUT do not use metal clevis on throttle end if throttle carb arm is metal, use nylon. I have had supposedly good quality metal clevis's strip on me before and have stopped using them. This is a personal thing, others swear by them- I swear at them (sometimes). I've been using these in a lot of places lately where there is room as they are a little more bulky but solid.
