    105hp with 2 low cylinders

    Hi guys, can I ask you what your thoughts are on a 105hp that I could buy for $100. The only problem is freight might kill me. The guy I am buying off says it still runs fine but has low comp on top 2 cylinders. It will probably cost me around $250 to freight.

    Hi guys, I have a tilt trim gauge that I picked up from a bloke parting his Chrysler, unfortunately the sender unit was broken when he attempted to get it off the motor. They seem to be rare as hens teeth, could I use a mercury or force sender unit, or won't this work with my Chrysler gauge.
