I purchased a 1973 Slickcraft at the end of the summer and in addition to rebuilding the floor I am looking to do whatever maintenance and upgrades are needed for the engine.
The engine was originally a JX 245 which was essentially a chevy 307 that was mated to a Jacuzzi jet drive. I know the block is now a rebuilt 350 but I am not sure what else is original. It still retains a number of things like the valve covers, Q Jet carb, but beyond that I am not sure.
So...... to my question.
I am trying to figure out the raw water cooling system on this engine. Understanding that the system is fed by a hose that comes from the jet drive, I am not sure what the box is and what controls it? I'll need to double check the number of wires coming out of it but it looks like one has a boot/cover like it might go over a temp sensor.
Any assistance or information on these systems (specifically the control box) would be greatly appreciated.
