    Ford 289 intake manifold

    I have pulled my manifold and took the carb off. Put carb bolts back in and snugged them up. 1 bolt goes all the way through and the rest don't. Doesn't seem right to me

    2 bottom bolt loops on y pipe broken

    I pulled my y pipe and the bottom portion of the two bottom bolt loops are gone. Is there a way to repair just those loops the bolts go through. The rest of the y pipe is in great shape.

    Old ford 302 no spark

    Well when I first bought it the engine parts looked new such as new frost plugs...intake ends sealant still bright orange and so on...when I did the head gaskets the cylinders were really clean as well as the pistons them selves so I believe it had work for sure

    1975 23 foot fiberglass with cuddy

    I am wondering about prop size for my old boat. It had a 21p when I bought it. I switched it to a 19. It's been suggested I run a 16 or 15. Does that sound right. Boat revs out at about 3500 ram for causing speed wich seams high to me
