My 69 base engine is back together and dropped it in the car last night. I ended up finding NOS valves on eBay. However they are not the same as Sprint valves, same diameter but the stem is shorter. They were quite inexpensive, $85 for the intake valves and $30 for the exhaust.
Most of my valves were good but a few had some wear on the stem. Could have ground them but for the low cost of the NOS valves I figured why not.
