Scott,

No, the damage shown in my album had nothing to do with crossover plates --
those had not yet been invented. Edelbrock then, and now, insisted on the
use of cast iron plugs, which they supplied in the crossover ports. THOSE
PLUGS are what almost wore through into the water jacket in my cylinder
heads, and DID wear into one of the head bolts.
