Not to worry KaGee, the bilge cleaned up real nice, even with the gasoline stain at the high water (coolant) mark, that came from the split steel gas line at the fuel pump.<br /><br />I have as yet to conduct the water test. All other issues EXCEPT the distributor whine have been resolved. The motor runs real nice, the outdrive shifts like butter, all leaks have been stopped, all difficult parts have been fitted...<br /><br />....BUT I dare not take her out until the distrib whine is resolved. After spending several days measuring, adjusting etc I am at a loss at this moment.

Wow, Boomer. Missed all this. Great!! I tell you what, all of these projects have convinced me to do similar on the next boat. At this point thinking late 70's early 80's Sleekcraft, but we'll see. Man, I wanna play

Still waiting over on the Ford Windsor Forum for some answers to my whining distributor gear problem. Yesterday I took some upclose pictures of the gears hoping that the experts over there would have a definitive suggestion short of tearing the camshaft out back out of the motor. I don't want to run that motor and have gears disentigrating inside it.<br /><br /> http://www.network54.com/Forum/119417?it=0

That thread is very informative in its content.<br />Sounds like they are still a little puzzled by your noises though.<br />I guess that patience will win out in the long run or else turn up the stereo.<br /><br />Peter
