Not a big deal to me. I’m not a mind reader and don’t know or care to know your personal life story. Bottom line- I asked because you didn’t reply to me and everyone wants to act like pricks. Wasn’t trying to make anyone’s blood pressure go through the roof. My life will go on just fine without the head plates.

This is my problem since you asked! Maybe you should start caring about someone besides yourself!

I've got the real fixture from BHJ. Planned on drilling my Magnum heads but found a set of Edelbrock too cheap to pass up.

Id be interested in it!!! Ive got a 98 block, and want to drill heads to use my 6Pack on it! Let me know what you need to get it to me! I was just mocking up a jig last week to figure out what I needed! This would solve my problem quickly! Thanks!
 
A little back history. April 29th, I went in the hospital and had two arteries ballooned on the side of my heart and a stent put in the Widowmaker. (90% blockage) My doc thinks I should be died because I won't let him put in a pacemaker and take his favorite drugs and get blood test 2 times a week so he can tell me how many pills to take each week.
Still have 5 more weeks of therapy then we'll see how my heart's doing. In the meantime I'm trying to get a few things around here fixed but I sure do get tired easy.
Getting ready to ship the plates to the next person Keith.

Been there done that got to that place because I wouldn't do what the doctor told me mainly not taking a couple pills. Life is full of personal choices but now I do not question anything the doctors say. Good luck and hope your choices work in your favor

Wants me to take Plavix and have blood drawn two times a week so he can adjust my dosage. I'm going to pass on that. When it comes my time and God wants me he's going to take me whether I take Plavix or not. Other than that I'm taking the eight pills that he prescribed for me.
And here's the part that really gets me he wants to put a pacemaker in so that if my heart beat stops they can shock it back into operation.
But what good is it going to do to shock it and get it going again when it's just going to stop again and then shocked the crap out of me again. I watched my dad go through this and it's not for me.

Thanks Stephen - I am glad Jadaharabi is doing better - I had forgotten that he had gone through such a tough period. This year has been so long.

Keith Grotrian is who I'm trying to get them shipped to this week. I don't keep the list. Stephen Hotz keeps the list. The plates belong to him.

Met up with Keith today he drove all the way from Nebraska. I have a picture of me, Keith and Stephen Junior.

I did manage to get my plate pretty much drilled and tapped for the LA portion. I am going to put the angle hole in between the first two holes and line up to the bolt holes with the Magnum head and then set the other angle on the other end so that all I need to use is this one plate and just shift it sideways to finish off the end 2 holes.

Boys are saying that's the best picture anybody ever took of me. Couldn't get the broke end bolts out of extra head so I am going to drill the holes tomorrow on the good heads. Plate fits extremely tight when indexing to head but all looks OK after drawing up flush.

Lol.
I never used the plates again after I drilled my heads and I had the bottom plates welded back on. So they may be a little tight you can adjust it with a hammer though if you need to.

Where are the plates now?
 
@fastnos are you gitting it figured out. If you need any assistance just holler.
Don't forget that one hole is out of alignment with the others. So you need to use the second plate to drill it when you do the end holes.
