    Mounting a gen 1 alpha to a gen 2 housing.

    Ok, but I was running 2 different props (I think) anyway; 1) 22 x 19 P, and 2) 14 1/2 x 21 P... So what should I try next? Like 16 x 18? Please advise? Thanks, Scott

    Mounting a gen 1 alpha to a gen 2 housing.

    The gen 2 was 1:62 I believe and I replaced with the gen 1 @ 1:50. This forum suggested if I found a prop pitched down two steps that I should find similar WOT... I'm still trying...

    Mounting a gen 1 alpha to a gen 2 housing.

    Exactly! Yeah I'm that guy from six months ago... Anyway, I ended up swapping the bell because of two reasons. 1) the shift shaft on the gen 2 is longer and won't mesh with gen 1 shaft. Will not come together for obvious reason. 2) the big castle nut housing the horizontal drive shaft is about...

    Starter angxt (?) ?

    Well. Ironically, I'm also failing at installing a staggered/2 bolt into my 350. The damned bolts start to catch then just loosen again and fall out. Maybe I'll try shining the first one to see if it gets any better... Then check and replace bolts on second one... If not, I'll have to replace...

    Starter angxt (?) ?

    Ok... Trying to install full size Delco starter into 120/140 in line 4-cylinder serial #6255138... I get a "wurr, thudd, chunk, spin" every other crank... Is this starter not engaging correctly, is it wearing out, and if so can I install one of those reduction gear models with short/long bolts...

    If the answer is no, what do you suggest?

    Tb IV intermittent spark ?$#???

    So then, what coil should I be using? MercMarine/"internal resistor required" Or HEI/"external resistor required"?

    Tb IV intermittent spark ?$#???

    So, tb IV requires an "external" resistor, correct?
