Is this baseplate trash?

However, I will prep and bush a spare b.plate and have it ready, in case my theory turns to tuning nightmare with vacuum leaks.  Ha!

 I hope your theory works as well. ;D

oktorque:
I was so confident that it was good I rebuilt another b.p.  It was for a turbo and the v.hole didn't go through, so I drilled it.  I also substituted a better suited t.shaft, bushed it, enlarged the mix holes to .090, drilled access to them larger, snipped off a ring of the mix screw springs, and mushroomed the end of the plate screws.  All good fun.

Cliff Ruggles:
Compare the gaskets above and below it.  It may be OK, as there is a lot of extra material on those on the front side....Cliff
