OK- tonight I was looking at my 500cfm Eddy's and I decided the choke 
plate should be removed on my dual-quads. Shaft and all. I do not use 
the choke and I can see they interfere with airflow probably. I will 
squirt a tad of RTV in the shaft openings after I remove them. It can be 
cleaned out later if I want to replace them. Does anyone have any 
problem with this?

Also I have a template of sorts from Edelbrock that shows me how to 
drill the vacuum advance weights to get them opening sooner and fuller. 
I will do this also.

I want to block the middle passage heat crossover too in the manifold. 
(This is a 318 poly +.040".) How do I do this in the most unobtrusive 
way? In case I want to reverse this in the future. I could JB weld the 
manifold but that's a pretty rare piece of metal to modify permanently 
like that. Is there a gasket that has the passage blocked AND is 
available? (Don't say E-Bay. I don't do that.) Feel free to chime in

I will be getting on the wood riser pretty soon and I'm having 
difficulty finding the coating. I can only get garage floor paint in 
2gal sizes. The paint stores are advising me that they don't know how 
well it will adhere to wood either. I don't want something brittle that 
will break off in the venturi and send little pieces of paint into the 
engine. That worries me. Maybe Eastwood has a product that would work?

OK- Send me some ideas, comments.
