Overall length, end to end

Grassy ass, I need a new/longer throttle cable.

It's the same cable for the reverse as well, correct?

How are these cables typically measured?  Jacket length, or overall length?

Small update....

Evidently when you use a rect port intake on oval port heads you need rect port gaskets... I read this somewhere on the web before I did the install, but failed to remember it when the time came for install.

Somebody would more than likely buy the serpentine setup, I know personally I'm looking for a setup for my Chevelle.

Crap, got busy with kids and forgot to check my stash.  Just set myself a reminder to check when I get home.

I am looking for water inlets and the outlet on the manifold. If anyone has these items and willing to donate, please PM me. Thank you!

I might have a waterneck, I'll check this evening.

Gelcoat / Paint / Fireberglass Repair / Re: Attempting my first cap job...

The inside was already fiber glassed all the way around from the factory.

Gotcha.  I've read a few times where the inside needs to be reinforced due to the grinding/sanding that is needed to smooth the outer layers that are added.  I'm wanting to cap my rogers but I wasn't sure how I'd get inside to reinforce it.

Did you reinforce from the inside, or were the strips all applied from the outside of the hull?

Problems solved I guess.

I just went back to the fuel tank switching system and it seems to work fine. Just like it always has.

I am getting an air lock or bubble at the pump and it's not letting H2O into the engine unless I "burp" it or let the boat sit in the water a bit. At least I know what the problem is and can counteract it.

Thanks for the good ideas!

First couple of times I went out after installing my Bassetts mine did this.  I had to manually bleed the water neck, it solved itself after two or three trips, not sure what the issue was.

Engines / Engine Parts For Sale / Tunnel Ram Gasket - Free to a good home
« on: July 10, 2019, 01:52:45 PM »
So I goofed and ordered the wrong gasket for my TR.  I have  an ancient Weiand with three bolts on the top plate.  Gasket has four.

It's 16.5" x 7.25" with four holes.  Meant for a Weiand Hi-Ram.  It's not worth sending back plus I've already opened the package.  Shoot me your address and I'll send it out.

It runs!!!!!  But it idles at like 1800.  Still tuning it a bit.  What's a good idle speed?  1000 - 1200?

I put a straight edge to the TR mid plate and top plate and there is daylight under them.  I'm working on sanding them on a flat plate so that theyre true to each other.  I think I had a massive effing vaccuum leak.  If this doesn't work I'll go back to a single until I can cam it and find a good pair of 650/660s

Put a cam in it.  Around 540/550 lift with 280/286 duration.  Too much carb for stock cam.

Ive got a 630 lift with ~270 duration solid flat tappet, but I'm thinking that's too damn big.  Plus I'll have to cut the heads.
