Until someone chimes in with an exact recommendation in the meantime I would measure the open/closed heights and psi when open and coil bind/wipe pattern & the rest of the std checks to help with a baseline.

Marsh uses a spring made by Isky that is PERFECT for that application call Moparts Connection and get hooked up Or you could just buy a set of Comp inners --drop them on and keep rolling--yea which one--well I can't remember the number but they only sell three and two won't fit so do the research and get your problem solved for like $38

Why don't u call Howard's & tell them what cam u have, they should tell u what springs r needed. I did that. First, I called Edelbrock. They said I needed to talk to the cam manufacturer. So I called Howard's and they said I needed to talk to Edelbrock.

I use the Comp 925 springs on those heads with a Mopar Performance .590 solid lift cam. I would also suggest that you go to a 10* retainer with those springs.

I have shimmed more than one set of stock springs on both the RPM heads and Stealth heads to use them on cams with less than .600 net lift to get 140 to 160 lbs. on the seat sand between 325 to 375 lbs. open pressures. I shoot for at least .060 to coil bind also when I'm done with setting them up I do have a older mechanical Rimac 1000 valve spring tester and a drawer full of valve spring shims so I use it and them to get all of the springs within 5 lbs. of each other on the seats On your deal you should probably be able to get the same good results if you can find a shop that has both of those tools in stock

Cam manufacturer should spec this for you based on ramp profiles, but just based on the lift dimension the OP gave and my rudimentary knowledge, something in the 150-175 seat and 350-375 open range should be about right.

The inners are always installed shorter than the outer due to the step on the retainers Measure the difference on the steps and go from there Do you have access to a valve spring tester? If so see about using shims on the ones you have first, take nothing for granite

Comp Cams 930-16 springs should work for your setup.
The only Carbs I care about are under the hood!
