I found out the hard way – they ain’t the same as up to ’72, many are advertised wrong. Need one for my 73 Swinger in good condition, guessing Duster up to ’76 (?) will work as well.

when i had my heads cleaned they took the valves and springs out, and did not mark them. i take it they dont differ from intake to exhaust valve? i know new cars do. any help is appreciated.

thanks again, kurt

I’ve got a set of Lunati 73949 valve springs that were on my heads. I replaced them with stronger springs, but they were checked before being replaced and they are “110 @ 1.68 and they vary from 258-305 at open @ .500 lift, most of them are at 260-265 open with the same closed pressures.”

The Lunati specs say:

Seat Load, Height/Load 1.650″/120
Open Load, Height/Load 1.250″/265
Coil Bind 0.950″
Max Lift 0.640″
Rate 363

1st question, do the 273 hipo valve covers have the tube in the middle that the pcv valve cap slides down on ?? and the filler cap as well ???

if so, does any one have a pair of these not on an engine,,ide like to know if they have a baffle in them,??????being that they have the raised tube they may not use a baffle,

i know all the early mopar valve covers used this tube,,not sure if the 273 does or not,,and valve cover with a raised tube would answer my question,,,

the reason im asking…

Need to sell
