Sounds like you have no ground. 12V to a coil won't do you any good unless there is a path

I put one on my nearly stock 460 which only had a crane cam, accel ignition added. That was back in the 70's when they first came out. We added a 4 hole 1 inch spacer and got 56 MPH out of it.
That was in a 23' Glastron carlson CV23, Berkeley 12JE with an A impeller.

It's snowing like 
outside... 18 to 24 inches of snow to land between tonight and Saturday
evening.
I guess there's no hurry

That's the direction we are going in. Tom is cutting an impeller from AA to an AB for us to try. It has an A in it now. The engine just needs to spin a tad higher to hit the hot spot. It should let it go to about 5500 RPM's.
I'm hoping not to butcher the cruise rpms to much thus the AB versus the cut to a B.

If you would take $250 for the valve covers and intake I'll call my son. I know he's looking
for those parts for his spare engine.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: anybody try a ebay 460 motor
« on: December 24, 2009, 05:09:15 PM »
I would ask what brand parts etc they use. What clearances ring type piston type what year parts such as block, head castings etc etc. If they have a large feedback number and satisfy you with what they are using give them a try.
The feedback is the big alarm I watch. If they have less than 1000 feedbacks I wouldn't buy anything
large from them.
It seems when someone builds up negative feedback they change their name. That's why I look for high feedback numbers.
It's buyer beware, so make sure you ask every question before you bid.
Don't lose a potential bargain by avoiding ebay. Just make sure you ask the right questions so you know your getting one.

Engine running bad... BBF. (Just rebuilt)
Think about it!
That one was just rebuilt too.
Good reason to have it built right by someone you know. Bottom line
is that you don't know what your getting.

Any time you start a piece of machinery you can expect problems
I sure wouldn't worry about it. There are millions of these things running everyday. Till
they break. People allways swear by a particular brand till it breaks for them. Then they
swear at it....
Where I draw the line is China junk.
Go for it

Interior / Re: Has anyone used color bond dye?
« on: November 29, 2009, 09:11:39 AM »
All I can add is to say, make sure you get a color chart mailed to you before you chose the paint.
The computer colors were no where near what we thought we were ordering. If you call them they ship the chart right out.

Well this sucks, I just did a map quest round trip exploration. 4709 miles round trip
I'll have to look closer. We picked up a CV 23 in Illinois last spring, maybe there's a 27 around there to find.
I don't think you'll have a problem selling her, I just wish you weren't so darn far away!

Would small blocks be a big deal without counter rotation? I wanted one to use as a camper more than a run about. I have the CV 23 for that. I may just go with a newer boat. The CV was just a thought.

What are you asking for it? The boat looks good. What kind of shape is the drive and engines in?
Next, where is it located?

Jet Pumps / Re: New question on impeller charts
« on: November 06, 2009, 10:00:43 AM »
Another question. 12JE A impeller. What is the max volume of water you can stuff through the hole with the A? I'm bored and thinking about max flow from the pump. It would seem there is only so much water you can shoot out the back of a jet.
Would there be a peak rpm for the efficiency of the jet?? Meaning above that rpm you don't really do any good?
I know, I have to much time on my hands
What do you guys think?

Just wanted to let you guys know we scraped the color bond and went with a new interior. The color was no where close to the color chip when we did a test. They screwed us around for two weeks to get our money back. They didn't want to lose a sale. I wouldn't deal with them again.

Thanks GT,,, I think 
I'll just leave the A in there. I was curious about dropping the rpms a bit if the engine could still pull top end.

Seems like this may be uncharted territory. Has anyone done this and noted the differances on their boats?
