Well, started the boat again last night, with water this time, and I got's a bad instake manifold gasket.   :break  

A new starter (perm mag high torque) is ordered and enroute as we speak.  

That water pump flat kicks ass.  :eek   I almost got KC soaked (he should have been standing about a foot to the left :D) I'm gonna need to rig up a longer hose so I can set the bucket on the ground. Art do you have any -12 push-on stuff in stock?  I need about 6 feet of hose, a male union, and 1 hose end.  

Oh yeah, I'm going to need a differnet motor-plate made or mine modified, to put the mechanicle fuel pump on it.

If you have a pump that pumps that much, you may need to enlarge the dump otherwise you'll have too much pressure in the block and that will cause milkskhakes big time. Don't forget, when you're at speed your'e adding more pressure from force feed!...I'm sure I have what you need, I'll check and see!....The mechanical pump goes on the timing chain cover, you should have provisions for that aready. But it's no big deal to make it work. Get a chance take a pic of the area!.. :good

Getting wet would have been fine over losing more of my hearing after it fired that one time and I was leaning over the back of the boat :eek

I'll take a pic of it for ya if ya want Sleek. Or maybe I 'll take it anyway :p He's got the timing cover mounting like ya said Art but the pump itself hits the plate quite a bit :(

What.... I can't hear you....  :D

Like KC said, I've got the provisoin on the timing cover for  mechanicle pump, the plate that bolts to the rails is what's the problem.  I'll try to get a pic tomorrow.  It needs to be cut down a little so the mechanicle pump can clear.

I'll look and see what size the dump is also.

Thanks Art.

Ok cool, I think I know what you're talking about, if that's the case, it's an easy fix. :good  :good

The only thing you will need to check for is the excentric for the fuel pump. If they nevr ran a mecanical pump, it may be missing!. :stupid (please excuse the spelling, pain meds don't let me see straight :laugh ) should be done with that shit tomorrow!.. :(

OK, here's a couple pics.

The front motor plate, that needs to be machined down to clear the fuel pump.  You can see where the pump goes on the timing cover



Another



OK, here's a pic of the plumbing.  It's a -14 input and out of the pump, the -8 into the block.  -8 to the T-Valve and -8 overboard.  (I think, and it's a bad pic as well, but you get the idea :D )

OK, now a V-drive newby question.  To engage the V-drive, do I need to lower the lever on the drive while the engine is in gear??  I can't get it down when the engine is off.

That's no problem, that's an easy fix, no need for a new plate. From the pic it looks like you may have to move the coil a bit though!.. :good

Since you don't have a whirlaway, it looks like you have the old two dog style in & out. They will go into gear while running but it is not a good thing since it will round off the edges of the male dogs and eventually will pop op out of gear. Without the motor running, pull the handle back and tap the starter a few times until they line up and it will slide into gear...If you put a whirlaway in, it has a ratchet deal and it will go into gear while running with ease.!.. :good

BTW, do you have a safety collar by the shaft log???, kinda hard to tell inthe pic!.. :rolleyes

The coil shouldn't be to much trouble, it's going away in a little while.  :D  Actually, the perspective is a little skewed, there is more than enough room between where the coil is mounted and the timming cover.  

I figured that was the deal on getting the drive engaged, thanks Art.  There is a collar on the shaft, you just can't see it from that angle.
