Glow head for Black Widow

I decided to clean up and rebuild a few more engines. I decided to tackle some Golden Bee engines tonight. One Golden Bee tank had an iffy reed valve seat, so it was put aside, but I did get two Golden Bees and a Champaign Bee rebuilt with all the correct parts. In the box was a Black Widow. But was it original? It had the #1 cylinder and what appears to be the correct tank and back. I cleaned it up thoroughly and put in a new gasket and o-ring. Digging out a no-drag starter spring brought it back to original specs. But I don't know if the Black Widow came with a low or high compression head. I never bought one new. Which do I put on it?
