We have a 1978 Cruiser that has the 260 (350 Chevy) with the serial # 5079900. Where could I get the wiring diagram for this motor/boat?
Also, when the ignition is on and the points are closed, there's a heavy red wire from the battery to the solenoid behind the motor that has a doubled up white wire wrapped together...the white wire heats up. In the book it's called a resister wire. What's it's purpose and should it heat up like that? We're having problems with inconsistent spark at the points and while we're testing, it heats up. Good or bad?
