I was trying to remove valve springs in 63 head. I got the jaw type tool that you hook on the bottom and top of spring andvscrew downward, I put a socket under the bottom of the valve to keep it from moving.
I watched 2 YouTube videos w this tool, and i noticed as they squeezed the spring down the valve tip would sort of pop up and expose either either pin type or c type little holders you pull out w magnet. In my case, the end of the valve tip isn't popping up so that the little holders can be removed. I checked the manual and they didn't offer Anything that would make it pop loose.
What am I missing. Is it just stuck due to age? Is there some way to pop that loose once the spring is compressed to get the top to free so I can pull out the holders?
Thanks

Thanks Tony, couple took a pretty good `tap` to bust loose.
Some of the exhaust and intake moved freely, some were stuck after spring was removed.
Next question. The e/I valves will not come out. Is there some type of clamp or ring on the stem that needs to be removed. Before they will slide out of the head?
Going to pull springs springs off of othrr block today, drive them up to jackson tomorow, will take your advice and let them.pull the vlaves from there

There appears to be some kind of felt washer around the top of my oil dipstick, presumable to seal off the dipstick tube. I've looked around the usual parts suppliers but came up empty. There's not…Continue

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
