As to Ramon's questions below, the stock Alpine headers also have the
thicker flange. Leaving the runners unported would be fine. My point
was that only one of my runners had a "thicker" reinforced spot for the
port. I was told it would not be a good idea to port the thinner
runners. So, maybe he can mold in two wider spots to be available if
desired.

Wouldn't it be better if he left all the runners unported? Is there some
reason
you can/shouldn't just drill and tap another hole if you need another vacuum
port?

Will we still have this problem if we are using the headers instead of the
cast-iron exhaust manifold?
Ramon
P.S. For what it's worth. When I talked with Garry back in March, he gave
me the name and number of a source for Weber carburetors. The
Name was Steve Nelson, the outfit was Top-End Performance in
North Hollywood, and he quoted $290 each for Weber 40s. Anybody
have a better deal on Webers? (We might be needin' 'em by
Christmas!)
