Final outcome.

red,  switched 12V +

orange,  white of 6AL

black to ground

Thank you all again   

That's the info I came up with.  It doesn't address the 83506 to the 6AL.   

I saw one hook up that showed the
red to 12V+ 
orange to the msd white 
black to ground.

I just don't want to blow the trigger out.

It's supposed to be a magnetic trigger and the 6AL paperwork shows the other hook up without
the white wire.

If no one knows for sure I'll go with the above

 

I hope he never changes spark plugs 

Is anyone running an Edelbrock Victor intake on your 460 jet?  I'm wondering if they come on the power band soon enough for the jet.

They are rated from 3000 to 8500 RPM or so.

I'm running an 850 Holley, Edelbrock heads 10:5 compression from the forged pistons,  MSD marine dist and wires, Comp cams 288 Extreme marine cam. Edelbrock air gap intake.

Do you think the Victor would be better for top end?  That's the way I'm thinking at this point.

What do you guys think?

It looks like the standard issue glastron carlson setup.
 
The cast iron intake was a cobra jet.  Nice big ports feeding junk small port heads.

Pedistal mount cheapie rockers, mild hyd. cam and lifters.

Oil pan was a front sump 6 quart with a baffle.  again from the cobra jet.

Dual point dist.

Dish pistons.

In reality, a nice dependable medium 320 HP engine.

No, nothing special

I too am very sorry to hear of the loss.  It does seem, and I'm not saying anything relating to their incident that some people go looking for trouble.

We were cruising about 45MPH down the lake when 3 lake lice came along side on our left slowly passing.   Just and I mean just after getting by they cut across our bow!   They were hardly 25 yards ahead when they did it.

I pulled up and gave them the finger as did my wife and the idiots tried spraying us.

Bad move,  that was like bring a knife to a gun fight.   

I probably should have just let them go to die another day but you know how that goes   

We gave them the nozzle "full up" after going by around 62mph.   I didn't give it to them in the face. I just put it close enough that they knew we could have.

Maybe they won't try spraying people again.

They turned around and left.  I hope with a lesson learned. 

1.  Don't cut boats off
2.  Don't try to spray people in a jet boat with a friken wave runner

This is a picture of my son's boat, it's identical to mine but about 150HP short till next season.
I don't think I would want to ride into that water blast 

Did you sell this yet and is it the large or small if you didn't   

How did you figure it out?   I'm betting points and retime  will cure the problem.

Did you look inside to see how the flywheel was?  Did the starter drag anywhere?  I had to shim mine but you could hear it drag.

   I think they got a little off track with the chebby chit.

Hard to believe that could happen on this forum   

Where's the best place to buy a set of these headers?   I could make a winter project
out of it I guess...

I won't take it down over the summer.

Ok guys, I'm leaving to much on the table with these log manifolds on my 460.  I've been looking for an alternative.   How are you guys making out that use the Bassett Thru Transom Headers  in an enclosed engine compartment?   Will they work with the tall valve covers?

Did you put in additional ventilation as in another blower?  Wrap the pipes with the header wrap?  Put the foil insulation on the inside of the engine compartment near the engine?

I added a picture to give you guys an idea of the engine area.  The other cover sits at the front.  This is an older picture with the real crap manifolds, we do have the long bolts on now.

How are you guys handling the exhaust.  Please don't say take off the ski deck and run over the transom... you'll make the wifes list too! 

Tom, do you guys sell this type header?
