I just got off of the phone with Comp's help line, and I use that term lightly. He recommended the 987 springs and said that there was no reason to run the beehive style springs on the Edelbrock heads. There are no interference issues that he was aware of and no advantages over the 987 springs???

Yeah you should be just fine with those @ 1.43 OD. I just had a set of comp springs 978-16 installed on my eddy heads. They are tight fit to the rockers @ 1.46 OD. At first glance they look like they will be fine, but Im going to go over them again real good to make sure they clear. I also didn't find Comps helpline to helpful either. I usaully got the same guy, and every time I talked to him they would recommend a different cam or different springs.
