Next set of iron heads (on the bench) think I'll try to install a 3/8 steel tube while filling the ex crossover and only connect 1 cyl per head.
I'm sure an electric choke would still be needed.
Instead of trying to finagle a steel tube in there, just drill through once the crossovers are filled.

Dave Bisschop told me that's what he does on heads where some choke function or heat is needed. Just make sure you get the angle right so it goes into one of the ports and not the head.
