    Chrysler 75 hp Distributor cap gasket?

    I had to order one of those a few weeks ago.....when I found that my distributor cap didn't have one either.....although it had been running for years without one. Like Jerry said, it helps to keep moisture out. (y)

    Old Outboards ????

    Take a look at FB marketplace or CL for similar motors, see what they are going for.....if they are in running condition they are worth a lot more than $100 each.

    Fuel tank dimensions

    Mod Edit. iBoats sells senders and supplies this forum. Check out this link if you end up needing a sender.....SAE 5-hole pattern and comes in lengths of 4-60 inches. Installed one on my tank several years ago...works good. Just need to know the depth of your tank. They have gauges too.

    Wrong New Prop Or What?

    " And, if this marine mechanic tells us there isn't a problem with the carb, I have to believe him. He is the marine mechanic, I definitely am not. And, on top that, people have to believe their vehicle mechanic. Again, he is the professional. If the carb needs rebuilding, he will let us know."...

    Need torque for prop nut

    Do you think that 55 ft-lbs would be good number for most props on 85HP and up engines? Can't find a torque spec for mine, anywhere.

    1978 Chrysler 85HP Powerhead Swap

    Yeah, Franz aint cheap but it is pretty safe buying from him. Mastertech is good too but they didn't have anything. Bill Kelly has his business up for sale and Franz is trying to retire.....guess you could say I am doing my part to help Franz get rid of his inventory. Lol
