Sorry it's been a while since I've posted, so I should start out by saying hi to everyone. :waving:

So, I have a old 350 in my 67 camaro and I'm taking off the cast iron intake manifold and going with an Edelbrock Performer.

I'm concerned with the water passage restrictor/block off plates. With a 1970 350 block and 1970 LT1 heads, is there any chart or recommendation on what I should/should't do for the water passage restrictor plates?

The restrictor plates block the heat riser passage that exhaust runs through not water.Use them.

I'd block them completely

X2 just saw he is in La.No need to add the extra heat to the intake.
