RE: 440 Source Stroker Kits/was Heads

[Ron Soldani <ronsold102@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Don 
Sounds like a good way to check springs. Thought I might be pressing my luck
with what I think are import springs from Taiwan or ? on the 440 Source
heads so I used the beehive compcams springs. Maybe overkill, but hoping
this will run right the first time. Been almost 40 years since I had my 1st
64 Spt Fury with 383 & 727 and it's been too long since I had a good mopar
in the garage so tryin to get this right.

Anybody ever check the springs?
A drill press and a bathroom scale will do a good job. Check seat pressure 
and at .500 lift. If you build a wedgie from wood you can check them 
installed  right on the drill press as long as your wooden wedge makes the 
springs perpendicular so the bolt you put in the chuck can push on them 
straight.  Seat pressure at breakaway 120# to 130# is nice. At .500 lift 
Iwould want close to 300# (285 #to 320# for instance)
To check the spring by itself you need a retainer in thhe top and a way to 
measure the height.
A little simple this checker , you might think. Perhaps. But it is Practical

with a capital P. Walmart has nice bathroom scales for just over $9
