@ALB, I've always subscribed to the theory that intake passages on carbureted engines should be be smooth to aid aid flow, but some texture should remain to create turbulence to more completely mix the gas and air. Too much polishing and too much texture is bad so finding a happy medium is what I've always shot for. My cardboard, duct tape, play dough and vacuum cleaner flow bench didn't get shipped out here from Rhode Island - since it didn't work...

Great point about the gasket between the ports!

Anyway, does that make sense? Thanks, everyone!
