Stage V heads can be ordered with the steam holes in the KB location or on aluminum heads they can be plugged and moved. Cometic makes gaskets with the steam holes in the KB location. 1967 Coronet, 1989 Daytona tube chassis. Former cars, 66 Charger, 67 R/T, 69 Coronet, 67 Dart GT. -Banned for life from V8Buick.com-

I welded the holes shut in my MP heads and redrilled them using the gasket as a pattern.
