    Is $200 reasonable for this?

    OK so if I do replace the lower case I will still have the 1.50....good. Thanks, pitch is clearly on the side on my other boat so did not look under nut. It is a Michigan Wheel 14.5x17.

    I don't know the pitch and can't find it marked on the prop. Tach and all wiring is new so I trust it to be pretty close. Where is the ratio set in the drive? at the top bevel gears or the lower? My lower unit is in rough shape and I have a line on a replacement but the sell know nothing about it.

    Right, me too but then don't want to blow things up. somewhere on here I read 4200 should be max for the 351W.

    All right! Thanks for the extra eyes. I am going to go set the motor to TDC based on the crank pulley and pointer, check that the distributor to pointing to #1 and then order the wires to 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 again and see if she'll start.

    Okay but in the pic of my boat (yellow wires) #1 is marked with the white grease pencil. Next wire is #3 that is on the same bank as #1 but you can see the wires go to opposite banks. Maybe that is my whole issue...that mark is 180 off. I just assumed it was the #1 mark since even notes in...

    I have confirmed TDC. I marked #1 wire before disassembly. Looking at the picture 1st and 2nd wires are clearly are not on the same bank but 1-3 are.

    Yep! That was to original wiring that does not even come close to starting. Also that order does not match the picture I took of my engine. 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 would mean 1 goes left, 3 goes left, 7 goes right but as can be seen in the pic it is L-R-R.... I know and understand trying to sort this...

    Here is a picture I found of a 77 American with 351W. Looks fairly original. Although I can't for sure know which is #1 I marked it based on the routing on my boat of 1L-2R-3R-4L-5R-6L-7L-8R

    Some more of what I have looked at: #1 first wire is marked and goes to left bank based on picture orientation Second wire goes to right bank 3rd goes to right 4th left 5th right 6th left 7th left 8th right With 1-4 on left and 5-8 on right not one of these orders will match up.
