i bought the wires already done and ready to go. the cap and rotor are the ones that were on there. the guy thats helping said they both look good.

mobboss : yeah its turning counter clockwise when it cranks.

mash on it : firing order is correct. when re did all that a couple times last night. cranked it til it spit on number one and dropped in the dizzy towards one and nothing. we have spark in the coil and the coil wire to the dizzy cap. then nothing. wheres your shop at ? i heard bad things about the hei dist. my buddy thats helping me said hes had nothing but problems with hei and nothing but good things with the conversions

its ALIVE!!!!  got it running last night. dont ever count out the simple things cause they just might be the reason. in this case 7 of my plug wires were not seated down all the way on the cap . i guess you live and you learn right ? i have a video but wont let me post it on here. saying its too big. no idea how to downsize it. ill try some more later today for you guys.

this is how i covered the transum holes. my dads a plumber so he got these metal pipes covers and we got 1 inch thick aluminum bar drilled and taped it for the screw to screw into, put some silicone all over it and stuck it on. cost about 20 buck for the covers and had a buddy drill and tap the aluminum bar.

congrats on getting it running glad it wasn't the carb 

thats odd on the bill of sale from Summitt its listed as 750 thats where I took my info from

took the boat over the puddingstone yesterday but they wouldnt let me on cause it was jet ski day. they let me put the boat in the water and run it on the trailer. going back today to run it. got a little teaser video 

455 jet boat at Bonelli park

since the lake is so small, and the "speed" zone is so small they are on an odd, even, schedule.. the jet skiis go in the speed zone on the odd and boats on the even... BUT you can put a boat on the water anyday you want.. u just have to stay out of the speed zone and you cant go faster then like 5 or 10 mph.. pretty much no wake...

Didnt even notice. I was adjusting the ball valve off the pump to get more heat in the motor. I wasn't worried about burning myself as I'd rather do that then fall in the green dirty ass water over there. I swear I saw a diaper in there yesterday

took a trip out to havasu this weekend. it was really nice. wheather was about 88 and no wind. little chilly in the morning but warmed up nice. got some little things to work on still but other than that it ran awesome 

heres a couple pics
