WTB and color/style floor mount place diverter control. Msg/txt/call 717-333-3677 Thanks, Josh

Ok that actually makes more sence too, I did use the single fel pro thick paper style gasket with the blue rings around each port and used some silicone as well but could deff se that blowing out befor the head gaskets. Im doing my weekly jegs order today for new electric fuel pump/filter/reg set up so I can use my saddle tanks so I'll scoop up some intake seal while im at it. Other then that the boats a beast I'll try to get some pics up tonight.

Yeah im going to be pulling the pump soon for inspection, what are some thoughts on upgraded loader grates/scoops for the bottom? Would they help out at all with mid range/Top end speed at all?

Running a 74 18' challanger with built 455 and was pretty dissapointed after my first run this weekend. The motor runs great and strong at all rpms but boat dosnt really get moving till im almost 3/4 throttle and higher. Dosnt seem to be slipping but more like the thing is in first gear when it should be in 2nd or 3rd(i know they dont have gearbox just for comparison lol). I only was hitting 60ish on gps at almost wide open throttle on a 400hp motor. Im new to jet boats and finding out jaccuzzis arent the most fav pumps but was woundering if an impeller change, any kind of machine work, or if and energizer kit would be my best bet. I also want to add a place diverter but would like to wait to see if any kind of bowl swap might hlep me out first. I have tech know how and access to full machine shop. Thanks again for the input everyone, Josh

It is a jaccuzzi, yj I believe and I was supprised too at the amount of pressure it spit out at wot. I didnt notice anything pluging jet even took a look through the access plate inside of boat and everything looked ok to me. Will deff be adding relief valve and have to take a closer look at everything befor running again. And also as far as adding an ajustable temp valve mine has none that I know of....would that go on top of intake manifold?

Ran my first jet boat for first time today, its a 74 chalenger with 455 olds-jaccuzzi drive. Runs good but anytime i hit full throttle the cooling lines from jet pump blow off or water psi is so high it spray out of pump cover gasket. I notice a valve at back of boat near inlet. Is that to control flow and maybe turn it down a little of is there some sort of regulator I should get. Thanks josh

Just got my 455 olds back together and not sure what to set the timing at. Motor has mild cam, eldebrock manifold, bassett headers, stock k heads, mallory pointless distrib with msd blaster2 coil. Any help would be great. Thanks

I have a pair of bassatt ot large megaphone style headers with water lines, headers are painted black and not in the best of shape but have been working great for me. would sell them chep so I can get some thru hulls. Call for pics 717-333-3677

looking for any used place diverter for jaccuzi wj, pref hydrolic but anything works, thanks!

Thanks for the pics and input, should really help me out. So if I understand right I should be able to pull the motor mount bolts and slide motor forward while lifting till splined shaft slides out and im good to go. Also was curious if anyone on here know of a good parts source for bb olds motors. There a little harder to come by then bbc to say the least. Mainly need a good gasket kit and prob some crank bearings if I need to grind it down.
