Theres a Mallory Distributor Dual Point on  ebay  for BIN  for 30 bucks. I think   you can change  that  to a Mag style  pickup  or  put in the  photo cell. Its  worth a shot ? Heres the  listinghttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mallory-Distributor-Dual-Point-Oldsmobile-Olds-350-455_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33690QQihZ018QQitemZ280261330238QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Thanks  for the info   Beerjet.The boat  sat for about 1 year.. Took  her   out  and I have  drops  at  the Gland nut.  The  two  nuts  were very  loose. Do  I need to  replace   the seal? All and all it was a great  first  trip.

Update  ;D put in  new oil, filter.checked the  spark plugs and  they had them  gaped at 60  :screwy: cleaned them and regaped  to 35 one  pump   at  the peddle   and  its alive  :D.sounds  close  to a top  fuel  dragster.Idling at  about 1200rpm should  drop  down  when its in the water.Any  dos and  donts  when   I get  this in the water..I know  its  doing  to handle  nothing  like my  18foot open bow  bayliner.Lifejackets  will be  worn  at all times on the boat!

Thanks  GT Another  question  Did   bayjet use a berk suction grate? I am trying to find out  what  jet pump I have.the impeller  looks  like nothing  I have ever seen   three blade polished  and  sharp.From the looks of the pump  it might have been rebuilt  when  they  polished it?

An Update....pulled the T-valve  and the spring  was  half way  up the check ball. I bet that was  from the  garden  hose. And     there was a peice of  rubber   in the  valve .Tomorrow  I will  put in  more oil  and  filter  start it   quick  set the  timing  and  idle and  take  her out to woodward this  saterday.If  all gos well I should  have  pictures on the water ;D O  does  the motor  have to be runing  before  its  lowered into the  water?   or  can I start it  from the  dock?

Thanks  for the info. I been  reading and  they said  there  should be a  valve  to control the  water  exiting  on the other hose coming off the  themostast .

The gate valve is necessary so that you can regulate the amount
    of water you discharge. It also is to regulate what RPM your water
    is injected into the headers. Example: gate valve is wide open and
    water comes in at 3000 RPM. To make the water come in at 1500
    to 2000, close gate valve approximately 1/3.

I am learning

Thanks  for the  reply GT. Heres another  thing that  got  me is  I did  start the motor  then  turn on the water  and when   the water  started  going in   the motor  droped  RPMs   and I had  water  coming out the  headers  and the  weep holes.I know  that is not  normal? The  boat  sat  for about a year could  the T valve  be  gummed up

I just  picked   up a 1980 18 foot Eliminator. Had  fryed   fule pump   one  water  line  that was leaking into the  alternator. And a lot of  other  things.  I changed  the  oil  and fliter.Test  ran it   with the  garden  hose and  how  I have water in the oil. when I first  turned on the  hose   I  had  water  coming out the  weep holes on the  headers? DO I  have a bad T fitting  for the   headers? The hose  lay out is  a mess  but  I took a lot of  pics  so any  help I can get  on this   would be  great. I am  very  new  to  jet boats  http://s66.photobucket.com/albums/h244/454thunderbox/Eliminator%20Jet%20Boat/
