valve spring ?

3.8 block with iron heads--have a 206-210 cast roller cam for it--not a race engine. What would be the preferred valve springs? Thanks--Lee

Comp 26918 work well in this application.

I run 941s stock retainers and keepers.

If you use Comps .. make sure you check them .. COMP is not what it used to be ... as far as QC they should be referred to as inCOMPetent.

Will the stock retainers work with the 750? Thanks to all who relied.--Lee

Hey Lee.
Fwiw . . I run the same cam setup at130-133 seat pressure. . . . These are the beehives from FTS.

Really just wanted to say it's great to see you are still working on stuff and seeing you post.

Well deserved and to a REAL Buick guy. Still hope to meet you someday and shake your hand . . . With a few beers sir.

If you have the chance, measure your installed height of the spring, with the valve closed. That way when you shop around for springs you'll have an idea of the parameters your shopping for. I'm sure the specific springs mentioned above will work. But, on the other hand, if you had a 1:65 ratio roller rocker set-up, spring binding height becomes detail that must be checked out.
