Need a set of Champion valve retainer locks

[PackardV8]

The Champion we're building at present came to us in boxes and somehow the owner lost the little C-clip valve spring retainer locks. They're NLA new from my usual sources. Since they don't wear, a set of used are fine. Anyone got twelve they won't be using?

Still need them. Also, anyone have any .005" oversize Champion lifters?

Hi, Matt,

The engine is a '52. Someone more Champion experienced will have to tell us what is the difference.

Our description could be wrong, too. I don't know enough about the Champ sixes to know for sure. I'll dig into the books tomorrow and see what I can find.

I do not think the Horseshoe shaped Valve Keepers are called spring retainers. They do the same job as the (2) V8 tapered valve "keepers" do.
