I don't know on this pair. Anyone know what these are for?

Steve, I believe those are magnetic inserters for split-collar keepers used for rotating free valves on Fords. Early 1950s?

Thank you. Where were these valves used?

I have a 1957 K-D catalog. The guy who gave it to me, borrowed it back and now he can't find it. When it turns up I'll look it up.

Now I understand, thank you for posting that.

I appreciate the help.

I must be missing something here guys. The tool in the shop manual is nothing like the KD tool.

That is the question answered by the picture.

The pliers are used on the keeps.

Here we go.

From 1952:



Are yours marked "609", Steve? Pretty sure those are the same tool...
