Did you check the condenser? This is where the dwell meter comes in handy. Or remove them for the test
Coils either work or they don't. Fact is about a million good coils get swapped out every year due to faulty diagnostics.
make sure your model uniden fits. my uniden 380 sort of fit (slightly bigger than the plastic panel opening) and I simply took a die grinder to it and then filled the back side with epoxy since I thinned up the plastic a bit.
even without your information being correct, they have your information based on your IP address, the bills you pay, etc.
George Orwell was right.....Big Brother is watching
are you asking how much it would cost a DIY'r or how much you would pay to have it done?
for me, a case of beer to my buddy with a portable aluminum weld setup, a sheet of 3/4" plywood and some tite-bond III and it would be done over the weekend.
if you take it into a shop somewhere, about $2k
If you pull a 4.3 from a truck, get the same vintage
remember, you are basically using the short block and heads. nothing else from the truck
you will need to swap core plugs to brass, use marine head gaskets and a marine circulation pump. from there, bolt on all the marine front...
Post the block casting number. that will dial into a generation.
the 3.8 (229) liter was done in 1984 as the 4.3 was replacing it (and it was a bit late coming out in 1985). those boats built with the 3.8 in 1985 were built with old stock.
the 4.3 for 1986 (starting July 1, 1985) were built...
its basically a stroked 4.3. the 6.2 is a GMPP rotating assembly in a Mercruiser built SBC-ish block using SBC-ish heads. the 4.5 uses the same rods as the old 3.0 and pistons from the 6.2 in a mercruiser built block with a mercruiser only crank 101.6 (4.00") bore and 91.4 (3.60") stroke
yes...
remember, the 4.3 is on the raged edge of detonation compared to the V8's My guess is the advance curve was shortened to keep the motor from eating itself.
