I am trying to use sealed power v1558 valves in my A engine but I only have 5 on hand, I tried to use the sealed power number to buy some more but the warehouses and parts places want an engine vehicle application , they can't or won't cross the numbers over to their brand of parts, The guide application is for a 61-63 olds or pontiac 315 cu. in . engine . I cant find what engine manufacture /application the valves are supposed to fit, luckily I have plenty of valve guides on hand and 5 of the v-1558 valves already or I would just buy the kits available from the model A suppliers. appreciate you help . Fordestes .
 
I come up with gmc 305 v6 for that valve. Supersedes to s2326. Its not available thru SBI. Maybe try egge or ebay

Thanks a lot, I been researching and I was to the point of driving to a vendor and see if they could use the dimensions to identify a crossover application or number , now I can call the parts warehouse and order by application .
Thanks again. Fordestes
 
Not sure what you are looking for, but call Manley with the dimensions you want, size, length, diameter, etc and they will build it for you and the price is not bad. Google their catalogue and you may find a stock valve that is just right for your application.
 
I was in the same situation earlier this year, it seems that SP V1558 is no longer made. I found some on eBay under the GM part number.

can you give me the G.M. Part number, mabe I will get lucky, I have 5 on hand and the guides on hand, I am 3 valves short, I I didn't already have the guides ,retainers and keepers I would opt for one of the retro modern valve kits offered, the G.M Valves have an abundance of material on the face and should last for another century.
 
The GM part number:2368099.
I was using NOS Model B lifters with my Burtz cam in my Burtz block. The new valves from major model A suppliers were way too short, the V1558 valves where long enough to be shortened to the correct gap.

that is what I am finding out, I found enough to finish this engine from one of my old sources in Louisiana at $10.00 each , now to find the rest for another engine I have underway , I will need 4 more valves to complete it, thanks for all your help .
 
I want to thank Mr. Bruce for helping me out on my search for the valve train parts, and also I learned a lot of useful information about these cars from him, is .002 interference fit right for the guides press fit in the block, I don't want to trash a good block by forcing the guides into the bores and causing a crack. Thanks Fordbarn !
