    Upgrade to 4bbl, what about throttle cable bracket?

    The only reason I tweak a holley is when I first get it to dial it in. I will swap jets, bleeds, nozzles, cams, etc. sometimes main bodies, metering plates, vents, etc Just like setting up an Edelbrock with a calibration kit. It has to be tuned because every carb and motor is slightly...

    Upgrade to 4bbl, what about throttle cable bracket?

    The pile is because I keep buying them for future engine builds and I swap a lot of parts The HP-950 is ready for my 7500 rpm LS build. The HP830 is currently on the 468 and will most likely get a larger main body and throttle plate. The 4777 650 cfm is for the next V6 build. The 750 vac...

    Cobalt 226 vs 220 or something else..

    I personally want the throttle to back off if I take my hand off it, so I prefer less friction

    exhaust valve stuck open

    not difficult if you know how to turn a wrench. first thing to do is pull the exhaust manifold. you will most likely find that the exhaust manifold is leaking into the exhaust port

    What ? , Really, what is with this trailer?

    Looks AI generated. because trailer axles are usually square, the hardware mounting the axle to the spring is wonky and the coloring is off on the trailer

    Have you cleaned and resurfaced exhaust manifolds?

    'nuff said.

    Upgrade to 4bbl, what about throttle cable bracket?

    get the mercruiser 4-barrel bracket or one of the much much much less expensive generic 4-barrel throttle brackets and make up a new bracket to mount the circuit breaker.

    OMC 4.3 Electronic Ignition Swap

    I personally would never use pertronix again, because every one failed on me. I would stick with points. While yes, you are looking at a file/gap/dwell set service every spring, that is 5 minutes worth of work, and a set of points should last 20+ years your setup is exactly like @Lou C I...

    I can not believe

    there are two companies that make boat glass. None of them make less than the MOQ $500 is cheap for a 35 year old boat compared to others. Most are in the $1200+ per side for curved glass try finding a sunroof panel for a 2016 Cruisers Cantius 48' for under $10k per side (same glass...

    Rebuilding for outboard

    the fact that there is a 120hp OMC makes this boat over 36 years old as the last 2.5 liter to roll off of GM's assembly line was 1990 I doubt the structure under the floor is good.
