Valve Spring color - HiPo 289

[pbf777]

      We had a guy whom was building his own engine, wanting "all original" parts in his 429SCJ build for his Torino restoration, this to the point of wanting all ('old') original rocker arms and pushrods, etc. I politely (if you can believe that!  ) pointed to a 55-gal steel barrel of scrap metal cast-off junk, out behind our shop and said: "if you want that, you otta be replacing worn out shyte, you can go fishing for them"! 

      Hours later he came to the front counter, "happier than a pig in shyte" (looked like it too! ) with a pile of "stuff" and said "how much do I owe-ya"; I said: "no problem, good luck".
