Both Comp. and Trick Flow do two spring at a time , the Tim's is nice but it looks like only does one at a time . Which is better quality ?

Two of the Tim tools are cheaper than the Comp tool! 😁 Looks like he also sells a combo deal with the air valve holder setup for a good price too, though those are available at your typical parts stores.

I like making things too but $35..at some point time is worth money. But I don't work in a machine shop, either. BUT I do have a set of 5.0 motor pull tabs(the factory ones they never removed) staring me in the face and a chop saw..

Oh and BTW, father acquired a '62 Fairlane a couple of years ago. Been sitting a while but have a built 5.0 on the stand for it. Just sold a comp orange '04 Cobra with 20K miles and a full bolt on notch last year. First time in almost 20 years I haven't personally owned a Ford car(Mustang). Brother's toy is a '65 Fastback with a FI 2000 Cobra drive train and all the goodies. Just for icing, my mom is still holding on to her(last year made) Town Car with 50K on it. So we are definitely Ford people. But a Terminator motor wouldn't fit in the Jeep(at least not on my budget) so had to go with the next best thing..LS!
