I'm building the heads on a ford 390 and I can't get a valve spring keeper off. Any suggestions?
go on e-bay or to a auto parts value and buy a valve spring compressor ...they are cheap and make life easier ...mine...





Kevin Marti has "mainstream routine" and "unusually odd" down to a science.
As the keeper of the enormous Ford database consisting of '67-'99 means order information, Kevin is able to retrieve rigid data from virtually any Mustang produced in those years, hence the coveted Marti Reports. Even if your Mustang is a regular grocery-getter, it deserves a Marti Report to establish its heritage.
When we asked Kevin how many '70 Boss 302 Mustangs were produced in Middle Gold Metallic, he responded with "337." We knew we hadn't seen many Boss 302s in this color when Jim Bridgett of Crofton, Maryland, roared up before our well-haggard Canon D60. As the shutter slapped out images, we began to recognize more about Jim's Medium Gold Metallic Boss 302. The gold hue yields a richness not always witnessed with the more clich colors like White, Calypso Coral, and the Grabber hues of Orange, Melancholy, and Green. Medium Gold Metallic makes a Boss look more grave.
