Where do these clips go?

[Ninjaneer11]

I'm assembling the head on my 76 620 and am not sure where to install these clips. The machine shop gave them back to me in a bag with the rest of the head pieces. I checked several diagrams and the factory service manual, but don't see anything that looks like them. I couldn't get the image to insert on the post, here is the link to imgur.

Tried again and got it to post. This is the clip

I was going to say it was for the rocker arms the the rat trap springs that it clips too but it looks different .Maybe was left over from somebody else’s motor .unless you have 8 of them.

Yes, I have 8 of them. They were in a bag with the mouse trap springs also. They look like they would fit on just under the ball of the rocker arm adjustment screw, but I don't know if that's right.

Maybe that one is broken, but looks like the bottom part of the 'mouse trap' spring.

These are different than the bottom piece of the mouse trap spring, because I have those also. All 8 of them look the same. I went ahead and put the rest of the head together, but wanted to ask before I lash the valves or anything. Might be from another engine? If no one here knows what they are then I'm not too worried.

That's what I'm thinking too.

Your clips are installed backwards. Look at the pic Mike posted and you will see how they are oriented.

FYI - full race engines run without mousetrap springs.

Thanks Stoffregen. Wasn't even thinking about it when I put them on last night. This is just a stock rebuild, so I'll be running with the springs.
