Pushrod measuring issue

I have custom Smith Brothers pushrods in my engine. I bought their checker, a ball X ball unit and checked several intake and exhaust using their instructions. Their website is a wealth of information. When I was confident I ordered their pushrods and my geometry was good. Note, 273 commando build with Lunati hydraulic lifter setup and stock rocker arms. I also ordered their rocker adjuster locking setup so the adjustment would stay where I put it and my problems (at least with this area) were over.
