The correct part number from Chevy is 3927186 but are more commonly referred to as 186's.

On the LT-1 they used 2.020 intake valves, 1.600 exhaust valves, 7/16 x 3/8 screw in studs, 5/16 flat guide plates, and 1.250 single springs. They were available on other engines also but this is how the LT-1's were assembled.

Correct for 69 and 79 370 hp engines! Got a magnafluxed set sitting in the garage if you need some. I think the 041 was used also in 1970.
