    What carb mods are required with .030 over and cam?

    I had my 454 bored .030 over and changed the (marine mild Rv?) camshaft. I have nothing to compare it too as the boat was seized at purchase. It would modulate the rpm upon throttle on the only trip out and I wonder if the stock Holley 750 should have the jets upsized for the changes. When...

    Would this be ethical?

    Budget is tight this Christmas and need to buy toys or better for the grand-kids. Do you think I would be in trouble with the rest of the family if I bought them boat parts and when they wonder what to do with them, I offer help on installing them on my boat?

    Spitfire to points type distibutor ignition conversion

    I want to eliminate the spitfire ignition on my engine. If the crank sensor fails, I am dead in the water. I would rather the timing ring just be along for the ride. For those of you who have done this, what products did you use, how was the tech support and how do you reconnect the circuits...

The fuel pump voltage should be 12V +/- .1 per the service manual and I am only getting 8.5-9.0V. The fuel pump relay is powered by the "light" terminal on the alternator and the "S" terminal...
