318 valve spring retainer

[71mach351]

Does anyone know a part number or supplier for a replacement valve spring retainer for a 71 318? I was replacing the valve seals and the spring compressor let go and sent it flying. I can’t find a source for one.

I have the keepers.

Have you checked wit your local parts store or even Rockauto. If you are looking for a used one, start a parts wanted thread.

Looks like rockauto has them but not individual ones, just packages of 8.

Try NAPA in your town or like I suggested, a Parts wanted thread.
