Mercruiser 140 hp serial number 6782979 1984 year modle
I just purchased a BARR manifold and the shift plate will not bolt up flat
against the manifold. There is 2 freeze plugs on the side of the manifold
that stick out about a half inch that are preventing the shift plate from
going on all the way. Has anyone ran into this? I called the place I bought the manifold from and they said mercruiser always mounted the shift plate on the valve cover. I took all of this apart 3 years ago so I may have forgoten how to put it back together. I searched on youtube and found several setup with the shift plate on the side so I believe they are wrong. I should be able to make this work either way with a little grinding just curious if anyone had run into this.
Thanks
Kris
