    adjusting carb floats (AQ170A)

    Quick prop question

    I picked up a 1971 Silverline Samoa 19V. It has the Chrysler/Volvo 280 stern (171AQ motor). The thing is, I couldn't find the prop size stamped on the prop, just a part number. I measured it out to be a 13" prop, just not sure of the pitch. Any ideas on finding out the pitch? Or will I have...
