Here's a better pic of the retainers

. So far all pushrods have good pressure so maybe wrong preload. Either way I have morel 4708 drop ins going in soon just wanna replace that one beehive with the correct dual for now. Any help is appreciated

Get a full set of good dual springs and do it right.

The only way to match them is to pull one out and measure it - diameters, installed height, and spring rate. You can't tell just by looking, and they generally don't carry a part number.
