Damn that is a great price. I am currently in need of a Bravo X so they tell me in a 1.36:1 ratio to replace my torn up Bravo one. I called and left Jim a message. Where are they located?

Re: 800CFM Quadrajet

Yes I think that they might be "worked over" 750 cfm models. Not sure though because I was just looking at the Edelbrock site and they advertise an 850cfm quadrajet. Also they made a 795cfm for GM...

Re: Last issue before I can finish up the resto and splash...Trim in handle won't trim up

I spray it into the carb while running then "flood" the carb with it so it stalls out the motor. Let it sit then in a WELL ventilated area fire up the engine and watch the smoke.

Nope I did not use any sealant on mine just the packing gland. You can not get to the bolt from the inside of the engine compartment. I am about 95% sure it is a 9/16" bolt. From inside the boat...

Re: Last issue before I can finish up the resto and splash...Trim in handle won't trim up

It might not be the trim switch in the handle that is your issue. The trim limit switch on the outdrive could be bad and preventing the trim from working. Try bypassing the limit switch.
