Default Adjustable guide plates

Any preference btwn dart and comp. They look pretty much the same. Also any known issues or precautions using these. Any mix matches on build with using std plates and adjustable plates. I'm just trying to get as much in advance as I can for builds. Thought about getting a set of the traditional non adjustable comps and set of adjustable.

Why would you get 2 different ones? I'm also curious on replies to the adjustable guideplate thing.

I'm building two engines and have seen in cases where a std non adjustable might work fine depending on what int and exh and others that needed help in the same engine. Ya I know sounds messed up but true.

Darts they will be.

If your doing any new rebuild even with stock cam etc they help alignment big time. BBC has issues from the start as it is.
