Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing Questions

« on: October 30, 2009, 05:59:07 PM »

I am about the re-plum my boat. I have some questions regarding hose sizes. First off i have very mild built BBC.

1. Hose that comes from the pump to the engine............-8, -10, etc.
2. Hose from the water oultet to the water dump on the transon........-8, -10, etc.
3. from the Basset T-Valve to the headers.........-6, -8, etc.

I have all of the water regulator valves (2 of them).....one on the hose to transom and one on the hose going to the Basset T-Valve.

Any input would be appreciated and if you are running a mild BBC, what sizes are you running?

I know that this varies from boat to boat........just trying to get an idea before i buy and the stuff.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The No Wake Zone / B-DAY PARTY IN COLD ASS GA

« on: October 22, 2009, 02:21:55 PM »

Well there are no bikinis in these pics because it is already in the 30's at night here in Georgia. A few pics from a party i had for a neighbor of mine that has been battling cancer for the past 3 years. they gave him 6 months to live 3 years ago and still trucking. So i threw him a huge B-Day party (about 100 folks), live jazz band, 3 caiges, etc. etc. Was a good time. Wish i could post pics with bikinis but that will have to wait until next summer.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / SOME NEW GOODIES

« on: October 20, 2009, 07:37:23 PM »

Want to thank my man Tom @ JBP for the carb 750 QFT. Just mocked up thus far. Hey Tom, i know you said it was built for my engine, so how much tuning do you think i will need to do. My dumbass also broke a bolt off in the intake when removing my old card.....any suggestions? I assume just drill it out and tap it? Also got some new livorsi gauges

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / NEW CARB

« on: September 14, 2009, 08:21:41 PM »

i am about to purchase a new card. I currently have a 750 edelbrock.

since buying it about 2 years ago i have had NO issues what-so-ever with it.,,,it just looks like shit now. I am thinking about a QuickFuel or ProForm. My engine is a very mildly built 454 and very reliable. Should i stick to Edelbrock (endurashine) or change? I have heard that the 2 that i am looking take more "tuning"....or maybe intial tuning? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

THANKS

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Leaking Valve Cover

« on: June 15, 2009, 11:53:25 AM »

So i got new fabricated valve covers with baffles, etc. They came with rubber gaskets. Are these worth a shit? One side keeps barely leaking. Before i buy any kind of silicone i wanted to make sure that it would not better just to buy different gaskets, maybe cork? Any advise would be much appreciated.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / BBC FREEBIES

« on: April 29, 2009, 03:12:57 PM »

A set of SUMMIT polished aluminum valve covers and SUMMIT polished wire looms. One valve cover has one little crack from over tourqing. I tried to fix it from the outside and did not work, but if it was done from the inside they would be good as new. They are dirty just from me taking them off. I have all the bolts, etc. No rubber Grommetts for the breather holes or no breathers. No baffles, but could installed very easy.

FREE, if you want to pay for shipping i will ship wherever.

I may not check back until tomorrow, so just let me know. I wil be able to mail them off probably on Tuesday.

The No Wake Zone / Headers

« on: April 17, 2009, 08:39:25 PM »

I have a set of Bassett wet headers, if I coat them, will they get discolored? My question is, when I get them coated, do you run the headers dry? And, will they stay clean looking, with no dis-coloration? Any advice would be much appreciated, as I am anal about my chrome not looking good...If anybody has any good coating compaines that you would recommend, please let me know. Thanks.
