Thanks again for the replies manleys locators fit without any mods the other companies didn't show listings for the thinner parts I'm using a comp cam617 int and a 593 exh with a brian tooley sk001s dual platinum spring kit. Manley drop ships from nj so I should have parts today.

Thanks for the replies I was able to solve the problem, I called compettion products and a guy named Larry ext 455 hooked me up with a manley locater #42344 in case anyone needs one in the future its the same dimension that came with kit but its only .035 thick that will give enough clearance!

I've checked the springs on a Rimac for pressure, these springs are what is called for by comp cams, for the cam being used .what worries me is the intake lift is .617 this @ 1.740 spring height this brings me to .053 of coil bind so I need another .020 at least for safety sake. That's why I'm looki...

I'm doing a spring install on an Ls style head, the springs call for an installed height of 1.780. I can only get 1.740 I tried a +.050 keeper but there isn't enough valve tip left showing. My question is, does any one know of a thinner than.060 valve spring locater?

I have a PH 200 seat and guide machine, I am looking for the smaller bars for foreign cars, PN#phc2221 if anyone has them or knows who does let me know thanks my phone is 973-919-0563.

Don't forget to check the rules, at my track they take the cap off and see if the advance mech move 10* they use a gauge to measure. We use GM HEI by rule.

I've got a cam out of a BBC, Hydraulic, or flat tappet, grind # 951815 on the rear of the cam with no other markings. Does the # look familiar to anyone? Or does anyone have an idea what company to start with.?

Thank very much for the info I'll get in touch with them.

I would try SPS bolts they were a big supplier of repackage and resupply back in the 80's and 90's . They might be able to help. They were high grade stuff.
