Charlie, I can tell you that your Australian sourced motor has heads with 2V sized ports and open combustion chambers. I am assuming it is a late model motor, therefore the oem ignition was a Bosch breakerless system and the original carb on that motor was a spread bore Carter Thermoquad mated to a cast iron spread bore intake manifold with small 2V size runners and exhaust gas recirc. That intake was probably removed by DeTomaso and replaced with the Holley street dominator.
How did I do?

\hey George,
First of all, congrats on the 1900 post level... That's pretty exceptional!
And congrats on your "guess"... you are pretty much right on! Those heads are in my guest room closet, as they have been replaced with 2v closed chamber Aussie heads. I honestly don't remember what ignition I had. The stock distributor is in another closet at home. And you were right on - DeTomaso installed a Holley Street Dominator, which is sitting on top of the stock heads in the guest room closet.
It's 6pm over here - I'd say you won yourself a beer!
