Pw_Tony thank you for everything you have done to help out, much appreciated ;)

Now we have Propless , you always get me back into the game when im ready to say F-it.... I look up to you for that ;)

Now don't flatten the cam, don't forget the plug and life jackets for the kids, fire extiguisher, and tags. Go get her wet and buy you lady something really nice for putting up with all your nonsense :-*

Post by: IRRebel on April 21, 2009, 12:18:18 PM: You did it Steve! Congratulations! Sounds really NICE, nice lope to it, good cam. Now lets get it on the water and figure out this Dizzy thing once and for all, lol. I'm bringing the Moo boat! This summer! Let's do it!

I have a regulator for you, if you need it BTW.

I still cant believe it.. I went out yesturday and thought to myself , i have not started you for 2 days will you start... i bumped the key and she came alive and sat there and purred ;D I must of done something right...

Im still on the fence with the reg.. But you can pm me want you want for it or put it here in the thread, just in case... I cant do any testing till i get this fuel pressure figured out so i got to do something quick :sly:

i just hope it isnt a bad gauge ???
Title: Re: Well boy's.........we did it
Post by: squirtnmyload on April 23, 2009, 02:27:37 PM: awesome. i have the same boat but it has a 532 ford in it and its an 84(its for sale too!). it ran good but its a heavy boat. after we set the pump back, put a shoe and rideplate on it, it rode 1000 times better.

Post by: zudnic on April 23, 2009, 03:02:00 PM: Congrats----

Small tip--get a empty cigarette package and put it over the camera microphone. should get rid of the wind noise. :banghead:
Title: Re: Well boy's.........we did it
Post by: IRRebel on April 23, 2009, 03:20:38 PM: It's yours if you need it, n/c, just Pm the addie Steve. I bought the Holley pump and reg thinking my mechanical wasn't going to keep up with my setup. It does fine, 7 1/2 lbs across the board. Just gonna leave it alone for now ;D
