...and we're back.. got the valve stem seals, they look exactly the same except the fel-pro valves have green rubber. I have also constructed a new conduit/valve depresser. Used 3/4 inch threaded brass conduit .. should have more strength than my other now bent conduit, and had the added advantage of being larger (thereby affording a bigger work area) and non-magnetic (the other one kept grabbing the magnet I was using to catch the keepers).
Waiting for pep boys to open up in order to get the valve spring compressors. Plan to get this head done this weekend. If you have any tricks with valve stem seals, shout them out.

EDIT Never mind, these seals are stupid easy.
