I have been eyeballing them for awhile. The bonus is they come with the rubber gasket, better sealing. I think they would be perfect on my 1438 motor.

There a nice alternative - for repop's...
I'll wait for others to chime in before pulling the trigger

Just curious - where do you mount the throttle cable bracket (2 bolts)? The cast doesn't appear drill - threaded?

On my 1438 I do not need throttle cable brackets, the throttle linkage bracket is mounted on the cam tower .

Ah I will go check out mine!
Unfortunately I travel for work a bunch and use my air time searching the web and not looking under the hood

Yea, the bosses appear to be there and you will have to drill and tap them....don't drill all the way through, though.
