Not sure if the valve spring failed or the valve itself broke first.

Actually, that is how I'm looking at it Dave. I'm planning on putting in a 383 with way more torque for the street. I think the little 302 had been hurt for quite a while and wasn't running up to its potential as long as I've had it, so hopefully the car will be a lot more fun with a much torquier(?) 383.
