Title: 65 GT350 Hipo Valve Springs and Retainers
Post by: mygt350 on June 02, 2024, 06:45:51 PM
I was rummaging thru some old boxes and found a set of orange springs with the dampner. Supposidely for a Hipo 289. Each spring has a retainer, but it does not fit in the spring like I think it should. Plus, thebottom side of the retainer is bit different that another set of retainers I had lying around. Thought original hipo double springs had a dab of paint of the springs. These look like hipo spring but they are completedy orange. Can someone tell me if these are correct? Also, need to know what bottom side of a no kidding hipo retainer looks like. Pics would be wonderful.

Thanks!!!!
