Memories of my friends 1970 LS-6 Red convertible

[ssl78]

This is what the original owner to my L78 conv wrote me


"Yes, I dropped a valve twice, and the street racers/wrenches, said to put after market,
better valve springs in, Chevrolet wouldn't do it under warranty. So the third time a valve spring broke, I ran it at high RPM, till it quit, put the valve in the piston. A mechanic that worked on it the third time, told me Baston took it upon themselves, to upgrade the valve springs. Not sure if that was the truth, but never broke a valve spring after that".
