Ok, I think I have the rev limiter figured out,got the boxes installed tonight. Only have 14 things left on my list, out of about 109 , so not to bad. New caps & rotors today, lost an hour and a half trying to fish the stainless distributor cap screw out of the bilge, then my neighbor told me I should have used the shop vac, oh well all is well here in Curtice Ohio, back with more updates soon, SC

Ok I’m here, wow! Got her going today! A couple of leaks, nothing bad. Check this out, got to thinking, a lot of people had luck with 32” locked timing, so I thought what the heck, returned my Daytona sensors marine cd1’s got my 1100$ back. Then , bought Delco hei chips, bolted them to my ingition mounts, (3/8”aluminum plate) wired them to my msd distributor’s, wala, instant ingition! Hit 72 on gps, never wot. Mabey 7/8” . 93oct from gas station. Seems tight, back soon with afr updates,,,,, sc

By the way, 80$ seems like a good deal instead of 1100$ just saying

Back, a couple of situations
 
[QUOTE]well, the motors are ok. Left tranny had water in it from a bad cooler. Rebuilt over the winter. Decided to go with the Daytona sensors, to much time and money to blow it all up. Will get back here soon Kith updates , again, thank you all! Especially MT,but not only. Been going to collage onOSO- lol ,,,,SC[/QUOT

Idea
 
I need to get oil temputures, looked at in the pan sensor, and on the filter block. Has anyone ever modified an oil plug to have a temperature gauge incorporated with the plug? Would make instillation much easier.

Hi again. Hope everyone has had a great season! I’ve got another question on the B&m 250. Have any of you ever run a thermostat in the intake manifold? Had to cut the last trip out short due to water temperatures not coming up off the 90” mark.( stone cold)

Ran like that for many years, no water stats. Water Temp gauge never moved. Cold water temps are fine.

Thanks Mild, good to hear from you! It’s been awhile. The old scoripion had a pretty good year. Never went far, my gps is a bunch of circles in front of Minkies marina,lol. Got about 25 hours on her though. Took a bunch of my work buds fishing a few times, been off all summer for cvid. Almost hate to go back next month!
