1990 L98 Valve Spring Retainer

I managed to lose one valve spring retainer while re-assembling my heads.
I can't seem to find anyone on-line that carries an OEM replacement.
Does anyone have a source?

I've found the valve spring retainer keepers (your Melling parts). What I actually need is the retainer. Mine popped off while I was compressing the spring assembly and disappeared in my garage. I spent hours looking for it to no avail. The NAPA guy says he has a source but cannot check until tomorrow. I'll be patient.

autozone can order them as a single piece but you need to find out the exect size of one of you original ones. just go to autozone.com and search valve spring retainer.
