Title: Valve Spring Compressor 1960, 390
Post by: Brandon on January 15, 2009, 09:39:47 PM
  Does anyone know if I can find one of these at a parts house.  The modern spring compressors seem to have a problem hitting the adjacent valve.  What type of valve spring compressor do you guys use on your 59-62 390's??

   Thanks,
       Brandon

Lisle makes a small compressor, that has a knob on  top and 2 legs that catch the lower part of the spring, works for me for years  Check this link and pick one out you  think will work for you.   .http://www.nextag.com/valve-spring-compressor/stores-html
