    So I set the timing. but is this a "good" spark on a 1977 1359HG

    When I adjusted to 32 degrees, the dist adjustment screw was in so the distance between the screw posts was about 1/4 inch compared to the specs of between 3/8 and 1/2. Anyway, here is a movie where I am tapping on the belt and pressing it in, to get short or long sparks on the #1 plug. Is that...

    Rectifier replacement 1977 Chrysler 135HG

    Jeeze I get the timing figured out and now I see the rectifier is smoking and hot. I see that CDI makes a replacement that will replace the obsolete Mercury part F404470-1 and I can get it from Sea-Way Marine here in Seattle, but it is $100. The engine still runs lousy, lots of flat spots when...

    How to find 32 degrees before TDC?

    I am trying to check/set the timing on the Chryser 1359HG (1977) with the Magnapower II CD unit ( see pic). The book says to mark the flywheel at TDC and also 32 degrees before TDC. The engine has the index tab mounted ( see pic) but there are no markings or timing decal on the flywheel. I can...

    Smoking exhaust and spark plug questions 1977 135HG Chrysler

    Exessive smoke/steam is the issue. I don't think steam/blown gasket, since compression is 118-120 psi all cylinders. Any thoughts on this? Seems like excessive/unburt fuel. Spark plugs all look the same, no brownish residue - just too clean with fuel on them. Pics are of same plug, just wiped my...

    Need Tillotson TC1A carb kit number

    Re: Need Tillotson TC1A carb kit number Here is a pic of the inlet needle sitting next to the seat. Does the fact that there isn't a point on the needle mean it is completely worn down and if so doesn't the seat need to be replaced too?

    Re: Need Tillotson TC1A carb kit number The carbs in question are on a 135 hp 1977 chrysler model 1359HG. Regarding the valve seats, the guy at Mastertech Marine (mastertechmarine.com) says this before his Chrysler - Force carb rebuilt parts list: IMPORTANT!! IF YOUR CARB HAS PRESSED-IN...

    Need Tillotson TC1A carb kit number

    It looks like Mallary part # 9-37000 or Sierra #18-7037 and NAPA is the same as Sierra, but some poster has said this kit didn't match up with the TC1A carb. Can anyone confirm the rebuild kit part number? Also how do you remove the inlet needle seat. The book says just remove it, but it looks...

    135HG 1977 lower unit/foot sealant?

    When I removed the lower unit I didn't see any sealant on the lower unit/foot mating surfaces and the book doesn't say anything. I note that the the top of the lower shift arm where it exits at the top of the foot, doesn't have a seal and one it not shown on the parts diagram, meaning some water...

    1977 Chrysler 135 model 135HG fuel pump parts question

    Wasn't getting any fuel past the pumps so I am in the process of rebuilding them. When I removed the lower fuel pump (pump cover part FA439746) it had a brass tube extending out the back into the crank case area. The top pump didn't have this tube and the tube is not shown on the fuel pump parts...
