I'll bet Dave Kostansek or Doug Wildrick would have a few extras on the shelf.

FYI



I think you can buy 11/32 valve keepers at most Auto Stores. I think early Chevy V8 has 11/32 valves....In a pinch the Chevy Retainers look very similar but may relax the spring requiring a shim or two....

Well, Almost. The Chevy stem diameter is 0.3413" and 11/32 is 0.34375". So the Chevy valve keepers should work. The Chevy Valve Spring Retainer has a outside diameter of 1.230". So check this against the Hudson Valve Spring Retainer.
