glenn,
Thanks for clearing up on the open port concern.

Just a note to clarify what you have for an intake manifold.
It is not a "Fxxx" product. It's an aftermarket manifold made/sold by Clifford Performance. A web page listing their offerings for Chevy 250/292 engines is found at this link:
https://cliffordperformance.net/store/ols/categories/chevy-250292You can see your manifold listed by itself at this link:
https://cliffordperformance.net/store/ols/products/42-4501wh-68-intake-manifoldNot suggesting you change your mind about setting your 292 back to original manifold and carb equipment. Just wanted to clear up possible mis-identification of what you have.
Dan
