New interior, new white face guages, new dana steering wheel and helm and cable, Mallory Ignition with pertronix and mallory wires, Rebuilt Holley 750, Edelbrock Performer intake, carter P4070 fuel pump, basset twistys and scoop,  Jacuzzi WJ with A/b impeller and diverter, Hull's in good condition, Paint is decent to good. Turn key with road runner tandem axle trailer. Trailer is in decent condition. Boat always gets a lot of compliments every trip. Not a freshly restored boat but looks nice and clean and is very reliable. Blaine (951) 210-2541

That will work, ill see what happens tomorrow. Thanks for the help all.

i dont know where though, ive checked and replaced all lines. Maybe vapor lock? If it was vapor lock how do you fix or check for it?

Well the boat ran fine, then the carb took a dump on me. Rebuilt that. Then went to fire it back up and couldn't get gas to the carb..... checked the pump, it worked but was a holley red and figured it wasn't a good setup with how i had the pump mounted and just wasn't pulling enough to get the gas to flow. Bought a Carter p4070 just now, and still have the same problem!!! :banghead: I can take the line out and put it directly into the filler cap and it pumps gas how it should. It just wont pump gas with both tanks hooked together or either one alone even.It shouldn't be a cracked tube, it ran fine and unless the trip home from the river was too bumpy and that cracked the tube. Other then that it was fine until the carb took a deuce on me. Boat is for sale, i priced it before it did this so i would really like to fix it so i can get what I'm asking for it. All help if greatly appreciated, Thanks. Blaine

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / what kind of electric fuel pump to use?
« on: September 20, 2009, 02:50:21 PM »
I heard that the carter fuel pump is a better choice for a boat being that unlike the holley it pulls more then it pushes. making that a better choice for a jet boat with 2 tanks feeding equally. Is that true? i had a holley red on it and i think it took a shit so i am going to get a new pump and just wanted to know if a carter would be a better choice. Thanks

the carb still available?

ya that is correct. It is shaved slightly to fit the angle of the aluminum heads it is on currently. a thicker gasket should make up the difference. I can call my machinest and ask how much was milled and how thick of a gasket should make it ok to run with factory ford heads. Or possible worst case scenario maybe have a machinest mill it to fit the heads you are using. should be pretty cheap to do.

The intake will be off the motor next week, dont have time to pull it this week becuase i will be out of town until saturday. I will be able to ship it or make arrangements on monday. sorry, i should have stated that in the posting. :banghead: hope you dont mind waiting a week!

Dove-A heads- In good working condition. Up to buyer to run them as is or get them cleaned up. Went to aluminum heads. Asking $500

Edelbrock torker II intake- Basically new, freshly powder coated silver. slightly milled to procomp heads. thicker gasket should help for stock heads. Asking $160

moroso valve covers- Blue anodized. some sun fading and has a small scratch on one. Asking $50

Will trade for twisty headers for bbf. Thanks, B [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] laine

So the only way really to find out is by checking the crank then i take it. The motor is going to eventually get yanked this winter and then i'll know. Just hoping for the 8.5 to 1 compression not 7 to 1. 7 to 1 just seemes like its going to be a pig to me! Im a car guy and know boats are different but thats just way low of compression for any kind of power to be made it seems. Thanks for the info, i appreciate it.

Awesome. will do. I appreciate the help a lot.I read a good way to tell if its a 460 or 429 is if it has an external ballencing weight on the balancer. im going to check and time according to what you said. Thanks again

Thanks for the quick answers! ;D i have d3ve a2a heads and unless it has different pistons, which i dont know of yet, it should be what the stock compression is. Think i was told somewhere around 8 to 1 i believe. And yes, i have a dail back time light. i havent timed it yet or checked where it is at.i just got the boat,replaced the pump,then painted it, and then did the interior. The motor started when i got it and sounded fine so im getting to it now. and since were are talking about heads, i have dove c heads sittin in my garage with all valve train. can i just bolt them on or would i need new pushrods? or better yet how much do you think i can get for dove c heads? ive had the boat for 2 months and i just want to get on the water! Thankls much for all the help

I have a 429 i believe, not a 460 but I dont know if it matters.im trying to set the timing and do not know what to set it at. id like the best performance on 91 octane. ITs basically stock with a mild cam, performer intake, mallory dual points converted with pertronics, and a holley 750dp. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Nice!That sounds like a hell of a ride! Were takin the charger out next week so we'll see what happens. My brother just scored on a charger just like my dads with a dominator with a ride plate, droop, diverter and a b impeller. Motor is a Hp block 454 with a b&m 250 blower.Got it for $2500! Just needs some guages and sum rub rail and were on the water! Thanks for the reassurance on the procomps, its nice to hear good things about em too! We arent like everybody who pulls em out of the box and throws em on, good to know if you do it the right way they are worth the money!

Thats what Russ the machinist told us about the springs and lift too. We had to buy $350 isky springs and didnt even run the pro-comps . The cam on this 460 has about .640 lift and Russ set us up with it and  got it all to to hold together for us. We have about an hour of firing time on the motor and no issues so far. Hopefully it stays that way! How much horse power is your stroker pushin? We are curious to see how much mph we gained. Its got a dominator pump in a 78 charger 19 3''. No pump work that we know of but is has the GS marine sticker on the pump so it could have something done. just a diverter.IT went 64mph with stock cam and dove c heads. hopefully we can hit 70!

Thanks, I may just run these d3 heads this summer while i save a lil money and get the dove heads done up a bit then with some good roller rockers. As for the procomps on my dads boat, we got them complete for $500 out of the box and heard all the same things you did obviously about them. We sent them to a machinist in anahiem whos name is Russ and worked for FPS at the time, Ford Performance Solutions, ANd had him clean everything up and do the geometry for the valve train and cam of choice.A doug herbert billet solid roller cam,ISKY orange stripe plus springs and comp pro mag roller rockers. After about  $600 later on the heads alone they were ready to go with no issues. They got milled to 81cc and also he cleaned up every port and gasket matched everything. The motor was told to have about 450-500 hp hopefully. MY family is all hard core american buyers and only reason we got these procomps is because of a friend working there offered them for $500 complete. Well see if it comes back to bite us in the butt!!! :-X Thanks again for the help, its appreciated.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / BBF Dove c heads vs d3ve a2a
« on: July 13, 2009, 10:01:40 AM »
I have the d3ve a2a heads on my boat i just bought.My dad has a BBF that had the dove c heads and he put some procomps on it and gave me the dove c heads. How much better are they than my D3ve a2a heads and can i just put them on without having to change any of the valve train or pushrods? Compression difference? will i notice a power difference? Any input would be appreciated! Thanks, Blaine

Jet Pumps / how much noise should i hear from hand spinning my wj?
« on: July 13, 2009, 09:39:40 AM »
I bought a 74 challenger for $1000 and was told the motor needed replaced. I pulled the u-joint off and started the motor and found out it was the pump howling.When i manually spun the pump i heard a ball bearing even drop! Bought a replacement 12wj with a b impeller for $150 when i bought it i spun it and it was definitely not as loud as the bad pump i pulled out. It still made a little noise though. I havent greased it yet either, gotter re tap a grease fitting in before i do that, threads are shot.Just curious on if you are supposed to hear the shaft turning at all or if a little rotating noise is normal. shaft is tight and everything else seemed fine. Any help would be appreciated before i go out on the water and get my heart broke! Thanks, Blaine.
