I have a 4bbl manifold that I want to have machined for an Edelbrock.
Should the divider be removed and just open it up square, or is there a
benefit to just enlarging the holes and leaving the divider in?
Second, I understand there are differences between early and late T-10s
- if so, what are they and how do I tell which is which?

I'd leave the divider in and the early 4 speed has a wide bolt pattern
on the top (Chevy style)

the divider helps fuel distribution in lower RPM ranges (normal driving
ranges), leave it in.

early has sideways "H" bolt pattern like chevy where tranny bolts to
bellhousing, later has ford/mopar style mounting bolt pattern.
