    O-Ring Sizes for Chrysler Fuel Fittings

    Trying to replace the O-rings in the stock female hose side connectors. Got the one that seals around the male - it's a #11 7/16" x 9/16" 1/16" thick. The one that stops the fuel in the hose from spilling when hose is disconnected is tougher to match as you're really running blind in there. I...

    Chrysler 70 & 85 verses 75 & 90

    Curious about specifications on these pairs of 3-cylinder engines. It seems they started out with a 70 and an 85, then bumped each motor by 5 ponies. The 90 HP had problems, I'm told, with a thin upper ring land and they kept blowing rings. Word is that the dealer "fix" for the problem was to...

    Installing Modern Steering System on Chrysler 35, 45, and 55 HP Motors

    I just did a successful steering upgrade on an early/mid 70's Chrysler 45 using the whole swivel assembly off a 1988 Force 50. Chrysler didn't have the thru-tilt steering tube then, there was a later version with a tube that wasn't concentric with the tilt bolt and you need a spring-loaded...

    Red Stator Conversion - How's It Work?

    I'm not an electrical engineer so I'm not looking for a Physics 201 explanation here, but I have to admit I'm mystified by what Mercury did to ignition systems. First there's a stator with red and blue leads with high and low voltage, then there's a 'red' stator with a very expensive converter...

    Why High & Low Stator Windings on Mercury Ignitions - Related to Bias Circuit? How?

    Why High & Low Stator Windings on Mercury Ignitions - Related to Bias Circuit? How? OK, first off, why does the Mercury stator have high and low AC outputs for the CDI pack, when OMC can get along just fine with one output? Ultimately the capacitor has to be charged from a single source...
