Old squirt remember the old Ford 4bbl? looks alot like it huh ? Tom

Exactly what I thought when they came out. Didn't Holley manufacture those old Ford 4bbl carbs for Ford at one time?

1. Whats the deal on the carb . Outlaw's Cole had one and me and boost were picture texting back and forth on day trying to figure it out . I never did get a response as to what it is excactly .

The carb is either a Holley 4010 or 4011. Not sure how long they were made and believe if you try to look the numbers up now it supercedes to a conventional Holley. A little research, and it looks like the 4010 was a "square bore" and the 4011 a "spread bore". If so, the carb pictured is a 4011.

Definitely back east, thinking Pennsylvania. I recognize some of the boats from the forums. The black and tan 21 Daytona just in front of the camera is "Hammerdown" from PB and HB forums. The yellow with blue flat on the left is also familiar.

HJ, this would be a real good day to call Jack. He had a pretty good day at the races yesterday. MPD had a hand, in one way or another, in every winning jet boat and that included sweeping the E.T. brackets.
He is usually there til about 10pm.

Just call Jack at MPD ( 949-631-2040-after 10am Pacific time.) I'm sure he would help you out with dimensions and details.

I think those are water ski races, not boat races.
This weekend there are NJBA drag races in Bakersfield and next weekend Bakersfield has APBA/SCSC circle racing.

If I'm not mistaken, that loader was made by GTH in Pacheco, Ca.(NorCal-SF East Bay) back in the 80's(?). GTH was a long time advertiser in Hot Boat. He was a former Berkeley employee who made a number of specialised castings for use in Berkeley pumps. Being I lived 5 minutes away, I was sorry to see him close up shop a couple years ago.

First off, I have to say that I cannot believe none of you have heard of this issue. It has been in both the local and national news. If you are willing to do some reading, check out this thread on Performance Boats. Follow the links for more info.

Long story short, this is a good thing. Without it, starting September 30, we would have been subject to all the regulations regarding discharges(cooling water, bilge water, deck water, ballast water.....) that huge ships are subject to. This means we would have been required to acquire permits to allow us to use our boats. You know that that would equal $$$$$ out of our pockets. We have been treated as "exempt" by the EPA since the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1973, even though there was no exemption written into that law. A court case in 2006, challenged that situation and won. This new law formally provides us with that needed exemption.

I strongly suggest you ALL read up on this so you can understand it instead of just guessing about what it may mean.

Probably not your best choice........ Find one of the industry standard diagrams out there.

Propless, you can drill into the JC bowl a little ahead of the narrow point and mount adjusting links there. The process of locating the points was explained to me several years ago by Jack at MPD. I ended up finding a split bowl before I drilled my C bowl. I seriously recommend calling him for the information as the setup you are contemplating lacks much strength due to the severe angles. You really want the mounts on the plate very close to the end.

I was pulling the motor apart this afternoon and noticed it is not a 402, it is a 403 buick motor.

Far more likely that it is an Olds 403. Olds has distributor behind the intake. Buick had distributor in the timing cover.

Posting pics would be helpful to identification.

What holds those plugs in and how do you get them out?  I like the tapping idea.  didn't think of that.  (edit: dumb question, drill em out right?)

Once the plugs are seated, the bowl material around them is rolled over the top. Thats why I suggested the tapping on the plug followed by tapping down on the material around the top of the plug.

To remove them, you need to remove the lip that goes over them. Then drill a hole in the center of the plug that you can run a sheet metal screw into. Grab screw with a pair of vise grips and pull.......Should come out.

I would try reseating them before removing.

Based on the hull ID number starting with "CXC" it is either A) not an Eliminator, or B) an Eliminator with falsified paperwork. It certainly looks like an Eliminator Sprint. I know, I've got the same hull. BTW, this is already being discussed on Powerboats forums.
