318 heads, 302 casting. Mystery holes?? (Solved!)

Well let me apologize for the stupid question, because I just now realized that those studs are indeed 1/4-20. I’m a big dummy. BUT, thankfully they’re already tapped, because all I need to do is pay a visit to the hardware store and pick up some set screws.

Here’s a question that’s unrelated to the holes, but related to the heads. I noticed most of the valves are pretty sooty looking. Does that mean I’m running rich?

I didn't see a stupid question. You don't know unless you ask.

Could be running rich. Could also just be exhaust soot. Get it back together and running and you can fine tune it from there.
