and another thing Datto has done in the past,
is remove a post of mine after I placed in a Post I wanted to be there to replace it,
so no hard work needed on his behalf.

Never thought to mention that, good question.
All of the 9 ports i have, early and late, have one, blue black have two.
Have not seen one with none personally.
Anyone else care to jump in?
Guessing 149-179 era, which i have nothing of. I start at 161-186.
My new head is a 149 job, but i dont have it in my hands yet to check.
H/L stamp is in a different spot for these to.
Edit: if i can get enough data i will ad a VERY EARLY RED section.
Cheers.

AFAIK, ALL red head's have the 1/2 bsp hole above no.5 ex port. If you have otherwise, I'm very keen to see it
EH - HR head's, had no lump inside no.5 ex port because that hole was used for the heater, not a temp sender.

Interesting...........The heater would have been an option? What triggered the temp light?AFAIK, ALL red head's have the 1/2 bsp hole above no.5 ex port. If you have otherwise, I'm very keen to see it
EH - HR head's, had no lump inside no.5 ex port because that hole was used for the heater, not a temp sender.
Brain fart...........I think the temp sender screwed into the thermostat housing and if not optioned, the heater port in the head was plugged.

Ya onto something brodomo, if memory serves me correctly, that thread had a t piece which had a temp 'switch' and a barb for the heater, then the heater plumbed back to the water pump.
May vary between models

I have a 149 head from an EH, the bloke was selling engine parts after learning the car had been stolen and Police were good enough to let him remove the parts he'd fitted.
'H' at the very front over the thermostat housing, '7420109' between 2Exhaust and 2Inlet, 'HOLDEN' between 3I and 3E, 'D214' over 4I, '7' over 5I, no lumps/bumps in any ports, and the heater outlet is over the manifold stud ctr of cyl5.

Pressed in studs would make it a 186 head. 12 bolt holes along the top would make it a 202 head.
