<VV> A/C Production

Is it possible the engine has been apart at some point and either:
1. the 95 heads were removed and substituted with actual 110 heads.
2. the thicker head gaskets were not used.

Frank DuVal

Just to note, my 1964 110 AC car engine had 110 heads on it when I bought
it. I do not know if it had been apart before my purchase. I will be using
thick head gaskets when I put it back together.

I wondered about the advance being different as well.  The distributor
number is 
no different and based on my personal experience, even without the VA
attached, 
I cant run much above about 14-15 degrees on the timing using 93 octane on
my 67 
RK engine.   Its Knock-O-Rama, especially if the temps are into the 90s.  I
wont 
have that issue this year as the car is crunched up, but for the previous
10 
years, I tinkered with the advance and timing settings a lot.  I cant
imagine 
setting it at 24 degrees, unless there was NO advance at all!  Perhaps with
some 
110/130 avgas, but that is kinda hard to find at the local QT.
