valve spring size?
im going to be ordering a Melling MTC-5 cam, lifters and springs, but i cant find what the proper size O/D our springs are to order. from what ive found it seems to be 1.230. is this correct? does anyone have any springs w/ part numbers they recommend?

V8 "Z28" springs. good to like .550" lift or so. don't remember if you HAVE to machine the spring seats or not (for the OD).

I used Melling VS-380 springs, but they are almost impossible to find now... I've got an appropriate Sealed Power part number (Advance Auto can order them) but I'll have to post it when I get home....
You might call up Northern Auto Parts, and see if they can get a set of 12 Melling VS-380 (should be dual springs!) valve springs for you, that is exactly what I did!
