Anyone got any ideas to mount the alternator? The one im using is a new/reman 3 wire alt. I dont have the sliding bracket that was originaly with the motor plates  The pivot tab on the alt does NOT reach the hole on in the engine plate. This is where I need it to go

Dont know if this will help or not , but its how i did mine. Tom will hook you up with the adjuster if needed.


Boats looking great bro

Found the original Stewart Warner Tach to match the rest of my set. Have to love Ebay.



Update:

Damn, Tach didnt survive shipping 

Looks good on ur motor! 

SCHWING!!!

Your Place Diverter is installed weird...

I think I still have that tach, I actually forgot you wanted one....I will take a look see tomorrow....Bummer when they don't survive the ride. 

GT

Thought it wasn't in the right place, good lookin out GT 

Let me know on the tach, I was bummed when I opened the box.

Looks good on ur motor! 

Thanks nick. Wife didn't like it when I showed it to her. When I put it on, she said it looks better then she thought it would.

 Scoops looks really good nice setup you have.

Some progress today, finally!

Got most of the old pieces apart for templates



Got new pieces cut out



And started putting it all together. Heres the front bench.



Hopefully more tomorrow   

 Making progress 

Just My .02, but I think you need to go with the "Sanger Stripe" scheme in whatever color. We already know it's gonna be a runner. Would be cool with the underlying flake Terry has on his tho too!

After chasing down some gremlins in the electrical, found where someone had spliced into the ground going to the dash in two different places and also ran a extra wire in half the harness that goes no where 

Spent the day replacing the ground from Dash to Engine, running a new power wire for the Hydraulic Diverter and replacing the 30 year old wire sheeting.

Will get the dash wired tomorrow 

Any updates? 

Just little stuff here and there

Interior has been redone using the original as a template. Need to take it down to get foamed and covered.
Rewired the whole boat and engine harness.
Installed all the cables and helm (Need a new steering wheel).
Been getting a lot of odds and ends finished that had been put off like Cable Seals, Steering connectors, Alternator mount

I do have an issue with steering I was meaning to talk to you or Tom about but its getting there!

Recent updates:

Plumbing is complete
Carbs, linkage and throttle cable is installed
For/Rev cable is in
Guages and dash wiring is finished
Engine is @ 12 degrees before TDC (ready to be started and timing set)
Distributors in and pointing at #1
Loader is in and thru-bolted



The list of items still left to do is long but its getting there! 

ITS ALIVE!!!

Just a little fuel poured into the carbs, ignore the wiring... Just needed to hear it start!

Way to go Jeremy   Good feeling huh

I was excited when it started right up. Most of all I was relieved. The engine was pulled from a running boat and was stored for a while before I bought it so for it to start right up, I couldnt be happier. Its also a great relief that the pieces that were added or that just sat for a while all work... Dist, Ignition, Coil, fuel pump, guages, sending units, carbs, etc.

There was no reason to buy the other pieces or do any other work until I knew that the engine and all of those items were good to go!

Now I need to finish the wiring, need the fuel lines to the carb, make a alum panel for the ignition and time it.
