is there not a tool that hooks onto the rocker shaft with the valves being kept up by compressed air or rope thru the spark hole on top of piston

Gary...I've got one of those spring compressors too. You have to get the "claws" on the lowest coil possible, then when you have the coils completely compressed,tap the top of the tool to loosen the retainer from the keepers. Watch out...the keepers sometimes fly out...and onto the floor...and then are hopelesslylost! Good luck. -- Darwin/Victoria/BC Canada '65 Cdn.Val.Custom 100'vert 170/A833...eternal project '67 Dart GT'vert 273/904...now with "Collector" status Quoting "Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>:I'm trying to remove the valve keepers on a 383 but the tool I borrowed seems to compress the spring "up" instead of compressing the spring down, away from the keeper. Here is a somewhat blurry picture that shows what I mean: http://1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/images/valve-compress.jpg Pilot error, or do I need a different tool?
