    How to ID a 4cyl aq 270 outdrive versus a larger aq 270 outdrive

    I have a volvo penta 270 outdrive powered by a buick v6. I found a complete outdrive with the transom shield and tilt motor on craigslist for $175, but I need to make sure it is not the 4 cylinder version. Are there any easy ways to identify which version the 270 outdrive is? Thanks in advance...

    Will an 11 spline starter work for a 9 spline application?

    I have a 1969 Glasply with a buick 225 3.7L V6. I'm having trouble finding a marine starter for this application. The ACDelco part number is 336-1860, but it's not a marine starter. I asked a marine starter dealer on amazon if he has the right starter and he sent me...

    How to find marine starter part number?

    I have a 1969 buick 225 dauntless with a bad starter, but I can't find a marine starter for it. After doing some research, Universal marinised these engines during that time. The ACDelco part number for the starter is 336-1860. Is there an easy way to find the marine starter part number?

    1969 outdrive gear oil fill location

    I'm trying to change the fluids on my 1969 glasply with a 225 buick and a volvo outdrive. On the outdrive, I see the drain plug at the bottom, and the dipstick at the top, but I don't see any fill plug or a site plug to let me know when I've put enough in. Do I just fill through the dipstick...

    Rust in carburetor

    It turns out my starting problems probably aren't from the choke. I took the carburetor apart, and found rust in the float bowl and fuel intake. There is already a water fuel separator installed, and I don't see any other fuel filters in the line. I want to add in line fuel filters in front of...

    1969 Buick V6 225 "Odd Fire" stove pipe connection location Rochester 2bbl carburetor

    Is the whole supposed to be in the intake manifold, or part of the exhaust? Also, do you know what the hole should look like i.e. just a hole, some kind of connector, a nipple...? I will try to get more pics posted tonight.

    Outdrive won't lift and I don't see the clutch

    I inherited a boat (1969 Glasply), and they said it has a 1969 buick V6 with an OMC outdrive. I've been looking at past forums, and everything says it's either the tilt motor (most likely) or the clutch pack assembly. As seen below, I don't see a clutch pack assembly, so I'm not sure if this is...
