I recently purchased a 1980 McKee Craft with a 1980 Johnson 75HP. The cover has the word Stinger on it. People are asking me what it means. Is there any significance to the Stinger Stickers?

In 1975 the 75hp (15" model) Stinger actually used a block with different port timing. That is/was the prefered block to use in the 49 cid stock racing classes. Basically the Stinger model was a styling deal other than the 1975 75hp block.
