Picked up a '78 browning monte carlo II. The engine seems to run fine (was hard to start but it had been sitting for a long time).
Has a new starter, fuel filter, batt. and impeller.
My questions:
Sparkplugs, which ones do I use? If I understand it right (new to boats) the 228 is a smallblock chevy engine. Can I just go down and get regular plugs from an automotive store?
Oil filter, same as above, automotive store or is there a special marine filter I should pick up?
Lastly, which oil would you recommend running? I'm in savannah, ga so it doesn't get to cold, is damn hot in the summer and the boat will, most likely, be used all year round (might be park for jan and part of feb at most).
Thanks in advance.
