These also have the vent nipples coming out of the top corner of the rocker
arm box.  Jim said they have to have them too. This is a 72 engine. The guy
told me he could get a set of heads that have the boss for the temp sensor
and the vents but I would still have to drill all that out.

I think some of the CB heads at least have the boss cast so you can
drill&tap for the FI CHT.
