Projects / Re: Almost ready, what side alternator go on?
« on: June 09, 2014, 09:23:21 PM »
I think it's much more common to put them on the left side, but when I was doing mine I ran into plumbing issues so I abandoned  that and mounted it over the fuel pump.  I used the same belt as when I had it on the left.  Point is make it easy on yourself and put it where it fits best.  And absolutely try to keep the belt as short as possible.

Thank's, I personally  think If I'm going to make something, I'd put the effort into a rail kit.
 Glamissandman, I think I have a pair of adjustable 3 point mounts I took out of a boat a while back (side mounts, not bell housing).  I'd make you a deal on them  so that wouldn't make it worth your time to make some.  Let me know if you're interested.

You can put it anywhere you like as long as you can spin the pulley.  Some guy's run them off the drive shaft, some turn them around and couple the to them front crank snout. Wherever it fits best for you.

My bad, I  re read your request, are you doing a rail kit or 3 point?  Sorry I assumed a rail kit when you said you were fabing them.

This is what it looked like using those drawings when I was making mine.  The front mount I just took my measurements from the block.

Do you have any "friends" that would "adjust" your spark plug wires while you weren't looking.  Say, just for fun?

Not that I'm aware of this type of shenanigans happening before  >:D  but you never know.

Good point.  You're not running a BBC firing order on this Ford are you Jake?  You know this ain't the Cal Trans race boat buddy. :screwy:

I would go back to square 1 and treat it like a new build with un-known  parts.  Start with #1 TDC pull the cap and verify your timed right.  Make sure you didn't shear a distributor gear pin.  Check voltage at the coil.  Crank it and check spark intensity.  Cam's don'[t go flat sitting in the garage, but maybe lifter bleed off?  Is it a hydraulic cam?  Does it sound like hit has good compression when you crank it, smooth even cranking?

Got water in my oil. I wish it was a head gasket👎👎👎

Maybe you should plug those holes in the oil pan, might keep some of the water out. Lol ::)

Skip the gaskets and just use high temp silicone.  Much better than gaskets.

Yes, the YJ and the Golden Eagle are basically the same pump.  With this set-up all you're re-using is your intake.  You're getting  the whole complete pump. Unbolt yours and bolt this one in.

If your boat works fine like it is, and its worked like this for some time, why is adding a selector valve making it right?  Sounds like you're fixing something that ain't broke.  :o

Long enough so when you turn hard the nose of the boat doesn't hit your tow vehicle.  After that it's all up to you.

« on: June 02, 2014, 01:32:48 PM »
I have a Jacuzzi YJ Energizer pump that's like new. It say's Dominator on the nozzle so I'm guessing that's who's kit it is.  Aluminum A impeller.   I got it off a boat being scrapped by the water department.  I'd bet it doesn't have 1 hour on it. I took it apart to look it over. I used the black nozzle adapter on my Ultra, but have a white one that's also like new.  It's a bit dirty from sitting but otherwise in great shape.  Asking $800.00 Located in Riverside.

You don't really need a crankshaft.  In fact that makes it harder in my opinion.  What you do is get a piece of pipe  about 4' long.  I use one with an I.D. that just slides over the pump shaft.  Use this as your crank.  You will need to make 2 spacers so you can mount it in your block like the crank.  You can make these out of plywood if need be.  Outer diameter is 2.75" which is approximately the main journal size, and then the inner diameter of would be what ever size pipe  your using.  Slide these pieces over the pipe, bolt into your mock up block and now you have your jig.  Slide the pipe out the back what ever length your drive shat is and slide it onto the pump shaft.  Now you can take all your measurements from there.   I added a picture off of Justin's thread to help with a visual.  This is basically what you're making using your block and a piece of pipe.  Hope this makes sense.

I've never had any issues at all with Dana. Maybe you guys need to spend more money :)
I've had all my orders arrive within a few days to a week.

Sent from my iPhone using SoCalJetBoats mobile app

Oh I've spent a fair amount of money there. And I know I can be a bit short with people on the phone when I feel I getting jerked around.  Maybe the couple of times I've talked  to Dana we were both having "one of those day's". And I still buy from him now and then.  Like others have said though, when I'm spending money with you, it's your job to extend the customer service, at least that's how I see it.  As I said previously, Dana's wife and Ralph have always been more than cool and made every attempt to be helpful. :thumbup:
