First of all I appreciate everyone's opinions about my problems and your possible solutions. Let's not be too hasty in putting down my set up until I get it on the road and test it out though. I have done a lot of research about this situation and take everything into consideration when making a final approach to the solution. Most people who have dealt with this issue have used tin plates to cut these passages off or stuffed different things into the holes which I do not prefer to do. My plates are extremely thin and should not cause any breach in the sealing of the intake ports. I will see how this goes, measure my vacuum after a while and let you folks know what's going on. Don't put me down for not listening to your advise but admire me for trying something different.
