Valve spring install, is this correct?
I had a broken valve spring in my camaro and the swap ended up looking like this. Is the gap between the keepers normal? And is the retainer going to work even though it does not cover the entire spring? Not sure what the old springs were they were on the heads when I bought them (world torquer) The new springs are manley streetmaster 22408. The air holding the valve up was disconnected and the valve stated in place. Thanks in advance.

No, definitely not right...
Looks like a 1.44" spring, a 1.25" 10° retainer, and 7° keepers. Every part mismatches every other part. That's not going to work for very long, if it even makes it out of the driveway.
