So apparently I got a little too ahead of myself here. Apparently in 1979 the structure and path of the water flow on the exhaust side of the 25/35’s was rerouted, and that is why the exhaust baffle is so different. Long story short, you can’t take a 1979-thru exhaust baffle and put it on a pre 1979 motor.

Looks like I’ll be manufacturing a new baffle from 1/8th aluminum, because replacements are NLA, and I already tore apart another 1978 motor I happened to have for parts, only to discover that one had a warped baffle too.
