Don't have a valve spring compressor yet but need to order my valve locks that come with my cam kit... Searched but can't seem to find the answer anywhere. This is a typical mid 70's stock 318 - assuming these are single groove... Does anyone have any thoughts? THANKS!!!!!
 
Mopar has various types and is hit and miss on how many grooves the valves have. If you are going to use your old valves you will have to wait until you pull the valve springs. The exhaust and intake usually don't have the same number of grooves either so you need two types of keepers.

If you are going to aftermarket valves just purchase then to match the valves. Single groove is most popular performance type.
