A good spring compressor? Go with the Moroso on head spring compressor. It threads on the stud and then locks down in place so you can use both hands to remove the valve locks. Summit and Jegs sell their own version too. But I use the Moroso with the heavy springs on the Chevelle.

I've used this type for years. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/otc-4573/overview/

But I like those leverage type ones shown above. Keeps the locks accessible.
