Re: big block valve wsprings
Clem -- Yet the '65 thru 'July '69 P&A catalogs show the "T" stamped retainer #3859909 as being for '65-9 Pass (396) (exc. Sp. H/Per.), and '65 (?)-'69 Pass., corvette (427) [no mention of whether all performance versions or not].
but, surprisingly, the "O" is still around:
'65 [only] Pass., Corvette w/Sp. H/Per. (396) is the only year that still, in July '69, calls for the "O" stamped retainer # 3864900.
Below is a thumbnail of the "T" stamped retainer, off a set of January 1968 oval port "215" heads with the single spring and flat damper, and which I believe to be original to the heads.
