Re: Car Idles Rough and Kills Under Load....HELP!

1964 cylinders

my 64 convertible has a dead miss, which i determined to be an issue with the exhaust valve/seat after a leakdown test, i have a pile of cylinder heads and cylinders for 65-69 corvairs, i am wondering if i can swap the later heads/cylinders onto a 64 engine?
