No new heads, George. Hopefully, we can weld them up and move on. There's already more weld than head, anyway. Besides, I like having the fastest combo using the oldest Pontiac aftermarket head (not counting Mickey Thompson heads). They are already dry-decked and I run water only in the heads and not in the block. Paul Carter is a great engine builder and I trust we'll get it sorted.

I run two solenoids---Ford type in the passenger compartment to route power to the All Pontiac starter. I'm not sure which solenoid is acting up. I hate intermittent electrical problems. I'll definitely replace the Ford solenoid and see if the starter needs work or replacement. The All Pontiac starter has done yeoman work, starting the engine when it was NA and since I added a blower with no issues until now--over ten years.
