Played with the timing and curve a bit and ended up just locking the distributor out and set it at 32°, starts up fine and runs beautiful,going to hook up a starter saver tomorrow and take it to the lake again for a few hours.

Post by: 77fordwind on August 23, 2021, 10:08:35 PM: boat ran great, i did set the rev limiter back to 4900 from 5200 tho. Dont know if that was a mistake? but i wanted to play it safe for now. Also met a nice lady from "river whips" i believe, who got me thinking of names now.. She suggested

*Desert Sunsetter

A couple ive been mulling around

*Riverside N High
*Cheddar Shedder
*Operation SunDrop

painted on the transom just above swim deck? Or on the cap facing upwards? In gold flake most likely
