I remember the spring cup information wasn't immediately available, I had to search for it ... a bit. But I found it.

Page 342 of the Crane valve spring catalog I downloaded from the internet specifies spring seat (cup) #99459 for spring number 99839.

I can produce this page if ever an employee of Crane wants to argue about it.

According to their specs valve spring #99839 is 1.500" OD, the spring cup #99459 is designed for springs up to 1.52" OD. Seems like there's 0.020" wiggle room. No big deal, eh?

The 10 degree titanium retainers were listed on the same page, but the 10 degree chromoly retainers required further searching.

These are AMC parts, it appears AMC parts are even more obscure than Cleveland Ford parts.

Buy the parts, keep the receipt, if they don't fit return them.

You'll love the Cobra Jet cam.
