Lower River / Martinez info

« on: June 14, 2012, 10:34:47 AM »

Looking for info on where to stay/boat/party on Martinez as I have never been there.

I grew up in Parker (and got the hell out as soon as I could) but now it's the only place I ever go cuz I know it so well. Wife (then GF) worked at Badenochs and I worked at Roadrunner. Made my share of LHC runs but too far for me now.

Yuma is only a few hours away and I am looking for something different.

Recommendations?

Trailers / Trailer Hub Assembly

« on: May 01, 2012, 11:17:27 AM »

I want to change all four hub assemblies on my trailer. They don't have brakes so can I just buy four new hubs and put them on? Also, how do I tell the size and length of the assembly I need: 1", 1 1/4", 1 3/8" etc...?

Any recommendations on brands?

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Help: Pulling BBF

« on: April 30, 2012, 02:36:50 PM »

Ok. Instead of selling I am now in the keep it and work on it mode.

I need to pull my 460 and fix an oil leak and replace the freeze plugs. I don't know what the oil leak is yet so that is why I am pulling it. I have an engine hoist and stand but have a few questions on pulling the engine:

20' Nordic Viking Day Cruiser
Ford 460 with snails
Dominator pump

1. What has to be disonnected at the pump/connections to the engine?
2. Anything else other than disconnecting the mounts for the engine?
3. Anyone have a DYI guide with pics?
4. Is there anything else I should replace after pulling the engine? Flush, etc...?

I really appreciate all of the help and expertise on this site! Any help with this will be greatly appreciated as well.

Any help would be appreciated...

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Custom SP wire question

« on: June 06, 2009, 07:48:03 AM »

Thanks to earlier help, I am installing Accel SP wires... What I need to know is, do I strip just the outside wire (yellow/white) or do I strip the black conductor wire as well?

Unfortunately, I did the second and it has kept me up thinking all night.

If I did, will it still work or is this a $$$ lesson??

BTW, I really appreciate the all of the knowledge and experience on this page and for helping a newb like me.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Need help finding plug wire set for a BBF

« on: May 28, 2009, 09:37:08 AM »

I am trying to find a plug wire set for a BBF with a Prestolite Dizzy. Right now, it has motorcraft wires on it but one is cracked and they haven't been replaced in a long while. Funds are an issue, so I'm looking for a decent set for a decent price... Specific part number would help as well... recommendations???

I am also putting in a Pertronix elect conversion. Do I need to change the plug gap? Learning as I go...

Jet Pumps / Dominator O-ring question

« on: July 11, 2008, 09:45:14 PM »

I blew the o-ring out of my dominator pump and replaced it with a new one. It seems to have a lot of play back and forth with the new one on. Is there supposed to be a lot of play?? Seems like there should be some kind of seal with a new o-ring??? I first bought a large size o-ring that didn't fit the grooves. The smaller size o-ring fits the grooves but now there is a lot of play...

Any help appreciated...
