Agreed! Going to test the battery tomorrow. Semi-related question...

I was told by Cliff Ruggles today that there are a couple of holes in the intake manifold (between the manifold and carb) that he recommended plugging up. He said it was designed for heat to rise into the carburetor, but it was a mistake because it was too hot and affected start ups. This only occurred in the 67's. Anyone ever heard of this? Pics of where they are located? My intrepretation of what Cliff actuall said and what I wrote might be a little off, so don't blame Cliff haha! Thanks!
