What springs do you have now? If you have the AFR standard spring, the 8019's drop right in with the same seat/retainer.

The PAC 1518's are beehives. The original AFR's are duals. If the heads you have now have AFR springs (duals) then the PAC's are not drop in. They will require different seats and retainers.
