Any suggestions by "the Gurus" would be great - I haven't had anything to do with flatheads since my first car in '61!
The Navarro Heads breath a little better. They arent as choked off as much as the Offy or Edelbrocks. Turn them upside down and lay a straight edge along the transition between the valve pocket and the combustion chamber.
