Default Valve Springs for BB


So, it's Thurs morning, sunny and nice, and I'm heading to work in the Vette, when, it starts running rough. Seems as it's missing a cylinder. So, my mechanic's shop is on the way to the office. I drop it off and after checking it out, a valve spring on cylinder 1 is broken. :eek:

Now the question. Any suggestions on a brand, type, and so on I should look for to replace the originals.

Thanks, Des
