Still interested in droop and extension and wedges
Still interested in droop and extension and wedges
Do you still have that water thermostat splitter and the header waterlines?

You still have droop

Haha hey man I totally get where ur coming from I'm not the type of guy to want anything for free and I didn't mean I want them to fix anything for free, actually I talked to Greg today and I'm going tomorrow and we're gonna work it out... I'm actually a fix it guy with my c10 and things but my boat id rather have an expert handle it but tbh after getting a few pm telling me horror stories bout gs I kinda overreacted but I checked myself I got the hint from gt jets and like I said talked to Greg this morning going tmrw and I'm sure we'll figure it out, my fault, like I said got a few pms and after having 2 trips turn out n getting towed back after being told it's fixed twice, and hearing stories I read on my pms, I did get kinda heated but then I calmed down.. Honestly thank u for telling me no holds barred even though I'd already realized my fault I do appreciate that man trust me that's why I said in my post correct me if I'm wrong, sometimes I let my emotions get best of me... Trust me I have no problem paying for work to be done, I never want anything for free, just to b treated fair.. Like any of us, thanks again. Hopefully tmrw we figure it out and I'll let u guys know..

Damn. I was trying to nudge in that direction, apparently you're more of a sprint car starter (push it with the bumper until it fires) kind of dude.
I love it ...lol.

Too many people don't notice a "nudge", they need a good old fashioned smack to the head at times. 
). You got a service and a few repairs (that you paid for) but now you think anything new that's wrong with your boat is his problem and he should fix it for free ? 
GT if I put the trusty old multimeter on the back of the alternator should I be seeing voltage?
Hey Guys, my PVC is running off of a port on my carb is that cool or should I be utilizing a port on my intake? Thanks
Crap. It don't?
I was going to have one chromed.....
How much is added to the driveshaft?
Fram has some silver colored filters
Scary that we are on the same mindset.
You must be finally coming around to my way of thinking.

No, its just the RIGHT way of thinking ! That's a different boat altogether.
This is the way BOB at Teague does it.But would he recommend 150 deg 50 wt oil to the filter ? Probably not. If you want to do it that way, move your oil temp sender to the pan and restrict water to the cooler till you achiever proper oil temps in the pan.
I disagree you want the oil going thru the filter last before the motor. So the filter can do its job.
if you go into the filter first and then the cooler if the cooler come apart for any reason the debris goes into the motor.
You dont want to no the temp in the pan its crazy hot i take readings right before the oil goes back to the block so you no the oil temp hitting the bearings
the oil comes out of the block goes into the cooler than the filter i take the temp off the oil filter housing before it goes back to the block.
Been running this set up ever since i built the boat.
The shop called and said they put 5 quart of oil in it and it had 80 lbs with a primmer.
Just going to pick up the motor put it in the boat hook up a mechanical oil gauge and see what happens.
And i guess go to local lake and make some laps
After the cooler that could be experiencing reduced flow. Is that where you're going?
Agreed.
I just had eye surgery, so I probably didn't read that as thoroughly as I should have.
50 weight oil is 50 weight at 212°F, anything colder, oil be thicker. FYI.
They got the pan back on they said check my sending unit and change the oil filter. (I should of put a mechanical gauge on before i pulled the motor)
They said everything looked good.
And as i said they said they have seen problems with filters causing low oil pressure.
Her is the filter i run i dont see how it could clog the ports are so big.
DO they make a Wix filter this size.
Well it's a work in progress. Got it to fire, but I have no gauges now. Has to be a wire or two out of place. Hit my target stress level, I'm done for the night. Thanks again for your time and patience.
Propless, you have a PM
The difference is the ones you have have longer threads whereas the new ones have shorter threads and a longer nipple. My bilge pumps don't use "hose", they are a flexible kind of conduit (for lack of a better description) and thread onto the threaded part of the fitting. The nipple part isn't used.
