LSM has an email address and a phone number. Just look up both' then write or call and ask.

Should be their SC-100 for your heads/rockers. I know it works for -1’s/Jesel rockers. But call to confirm. Summit Racing sells their product at a better price IIRC.

Looking at the pic posted the price is cheap enough if you have to use that style. Don't know if they make a pedistal one though. I use the old "jesel" steel arm with 'cam' ears to load the retainer. (I've made a aluminum protective 'cap' to avoid marring the retainer FWIW) I just made a new shaft out of the shank of a long (grade8) .750" bolt with 3 holes which catch a pedistal either side of the cylinder in need. This old-style usually works on the car but there may be a combo out there that the compression bar crashes into a fender of master cyl. HTH Are you Brett Wheeler?

According to their website, it's going to be an SC-100. The mounting pedestal and valves are in the stock location.

I just spoke with them. They told me the SC-320 for BBM head spring removal and the PS-100SLC spring pressure tool with the angled handle. I think you get both handles. They also offer the speed tool for the Spring removal tool P#SH-60.

I told her it was for BBM with Edelbrock victor max wedge port head. The 320 was the number she suggested. I believe my head and the 440-1 take the same rocker system.

It looks like you could use the 320 with the standard shaft deal you have. I don't know where you are in Ohio but you could borrow my 320 to see if it's what you need.

Thanks for the offer. I'm in michigan north of flint. The way i read the desciption, looks like the sc-100 works with 440-1 with jesel rockers.
