I didn't want to pull that drive it's always hard for me to get back on lol. But now that I got the part in and was able to replace it I see what it does. I'm surprised that's not a part of routine maintenance? Perhaps I should keep these on hand. The cap presses it into the water cavity so it's...
Never mind I found the part, I went ahead and ordered it, however can I seal it up with a gasket maker just to run it on muffs In the driveway so I can get my advanced timing set? I don't know what this thing does
This is an alpha 1 Gen 2. Long story short, I pulled the cap this summer Because it appeared to be heat damaged and I just wanted to make sure I had fluid up in the top gears. Everything was fine but now I don't know how to reseal it, and the dampener thing broke it was dry rotted. Do I need it?
Is there any other throttle cable bracket I can use for the Edelbrock 1409 engine is a mercruiser 5.7 Chevy small block? I'm kind of foggy on the layout of my old two barrel, but I'm also wondering if maybe I can cut or modify the bracket from my two barrel and make that one work until it's...
Hey Mike, when you say go to the starter, You mean that extra terminal on the starter right? The small one? Also can grab the purple wire , in the back of the engine where it goes to the coil for my ignition?
Yeah it's really not that big of a deal, But before I proceeded I just wanted to run it by the iboats experts. I just didn't see how it doesn't back feed to the starter, but somebody also gave me a tip to put a diode on that line.
Yes I understand that, I was confused about how the starter doesn't get 12v back feed from the purple wire, When I'm done turning the key, and it's now in the run position.
My oil pressure switch only has two leads on it.
So basically I just need a relay on each side of my oil pressure switch, One that will allow me to pull power from starter while cranking, and then deactivate it when I'm no longer cranking , and pull power from my source?
Right here in particular, where the power to the pump is connecting to the starter and also the ignition wire, or what is that little ring represent that's circled?
Lol. Yeah didn't to look right to me, but this is a diagram that I was going by, and it looks like they're tying the purple wire into everything, But I think I'm just not understanding the diagram, But that's why I'm here I haven't done anything yet, And doesn't seem right
