Well it looks like the problem is fixed. When the cam sensor (distributor) was put back in it was off a little. Once getting this in the right spot it started and ran on the hose with no beeps. Talking it on the water tomorrow and will see if all is good.

The sensor assembly which is like a distributor assembly without a distributor cap. Just has a flat cap on it. Take the cap off and there is a round metal disc that has a portion of it that sticks out further than the rest. Make sure your #1 cylinder is on TDC. This disc turns clockwise. As the part of the disc that sticks out is coming to the end turning clockwise. You want the cam sensor to line up in the middle. Half way with the part that sticks out and half way on the smaller part.

Glad to hear ya'll got it going. I tried my best to walk Chad through setting up the cam sensor. It's hard to explain some of those things over the phone. Let me know if ya'll need anything else.

We wouldn't have figured that out without your help. You nailed it.

John,

Thanks for that post as well. It is definitely hard to explain and that's a pretty good description.,

Thanks again Eddie I couldn't have done it without you. :-) The work you did on my Heads, putting new springs in and cleaning up the Heads for better flow is amazing. I can not say enough of what a great knowledgeable guy that you are and that you will take the time to talk to anyone whether we do business with you or not. I'm so glad I found you on this forum.
Thanks, Chad

Your welcome Eddie I will enjoy the boat.
I'm running a 26 pitch four blade prop and I am redlining to 5400 RPM,s at 72.5 miles a hour on gps and that was with four adults and 50 gallons of gas. Lol, so I am going to try a 28 pitch four blade prop from a friend and see how that runs and only have two adults on there. :-) I will keep you posted and let you know how she run's.
Chad
