I'm reassembling my fresh motor and forgot if the intake manifold exhaust crossovers were open, restricted or closed and from which side. Any help would be appreciated.

If your choke is electric, then you don't need the crossover heat. I prefer to use the blocked off gaskets to keep the heat off of the bottom of intake. In fact, my heads have aluminum melted down and used to fill the crossover port solid.

Thanks, I have a set of fel-pro 1210's with the blocked crossover and I also happen to have an electric choke.
