Thanks for the input! I guess I'll keep working at till I get it. While I have your attention, how many ft/lbs on those hinge pins Thx, Ken

Quick silver

Thanks for all the replies! Tried the that but the ring seems to get hung up on the leading edge of the bellow. Got a couple hours of trying to get past it to no avail.

Hey guys. Hope everyone is having a good holiday season, so far. Took the bell housing off, changed all the bellows, water hose and drive oil line. Cannot get that ring on the u-joint bellows in. Is bellows adhesive required at that location. I made a tool to drive it in, but i suspect i will...

Thanks Chris. Hit the nail right on the head. There is a bit of water sitting in there and I'm a little concerned it may freeze. I put the drive on so I could run it for oil change, so it has to stay out side now. Had the drive blasted last year, so I'm wondering if that may have hardened in there.

Hear ya. I just like having every thing working as it should.

Did that, both ends. Plugged. Fished a wire from top and bottom to no avail.

Hey people, been a while. Just got my drive all serviced and ready to go. Last year my speedo was not working so I thought I would fix that this year. I can't force air through pick up in the lower drive from either direction. I cleared the passage from the bottom with a drill bit by hand and...

Asking for a friend. He froze his 5.0L and moved most of the bolt ons to a 5.7L short block including the intake and 2 barrel carb. I have a 4 barrel Carter, which was on my 5.7L which we would like to put on his 5.7L. What would we need to accomplish this and would it be worth the effort...

Finally got that thing stripped. What a pain. Sand the whole thing and wipe with acetone then paint. Tomorrow. Had enough for today! Ken

This is how it started out! Ken

Well I don't know if anybody other than Ted cares about my little adventure, but I will share my progress anyway. I used a chemical stripper and it got most of the many layers of paint off. I then used a brass wire wheel to take the remainder of the material off. I know your not supposed to use...

Went to the paint store to pick their brains about painting my out drive. They recommended this stuff. Also he said i will need to strip all the pain off with this stripper he recommended. He also said both products were safe on aluminum. This is a re branded version of Por15, if you guys are...

I was noticing this puddle of gear oil under my drive after i removed it a couple of week ago. This was a little unusual,so I looked a little closer and saw this. If parts hit the floor, I'll need to replace them as I swept the floor and am not seeing any. Not sure what I'm missing. ​​​​​​​

He guys, my boat in my signature will be sitting in the water overnight where it will be going to -2* C tonight. -1* around 1:00am reaching -2* by 7::am. Do I need to worry?

My buddy has a 1990 Invader with a cracked 4.3 and he wants to replace it with a 327. Don't know the year, or serial number yet. Think it would be an Alpha one. Is this a simple swap? He thinks he can just bolt it on. Any info or direction would be awesome. I'll get serial numbers. thanks, Ken

Hey people. Tested my boat last weekend with new carb, 1409 Edelbrock ( as discussed in another thread at length) and it ran flawlessly. No flat spots, stumble or beats missed. Only thing is, when cruising, if I adjust the trim, the engine stumbles and my gauges freak out. Is this related, or...

Got it all installed and ready to go. Will be a while yet till I can run it as spring doesn't come here for a while yet. Just wondering, if I turn the ignition on, with out starting it, will the choke slowly open as though the engine was running? Can I test it this way? Also, should I set it a...

I finally got my carb. I have a couple questions. 1. In the Edelbrock installation manual, they say not to run off coil or alternator. Is this a big deal? Also, there is a purple and black wire poking out of a harness right at the carb. I think it comes from the coil, as best I can tell...
