dose anyone have a picture or a schematic of the routing for the cooling system for a 225 slant six in a turbocraft, or any marine application would help. I have a basket case 1968 buehler turbocraft and the plumbing is my big hang up. any help is a big thanks in advance. your new iboat member, Roland.

It is a Hamilton drive. Modle 75-SD, 2 stage. Wish it was a three stage. Maybe the slant six at 145 hp aint up to a 3 stage. oh well. My pump is blocked off also. whats in the pic is a plate instead of your ordinary water pump. the plate dose have an inlet or outlet, female, threaded hole. its below the thermo housing. Let me know what you come up with. In the mean time ill keep looking and asking. There is an old boat yard near by in Gardner. going to bend an ear or two there tomorrow.
