Eric, sometimes best to question before you open your mouth and advise as to " you did it wrong".
Buffalo got her looking good, won't be long now.The days are getting longer ,time to reverse the process.......
R&R remove and replace, how come the remove is always the easiest of the TWO ???????
Ford blue is a pretty color......But you can't have it all.........

Greg, in the spirit of many things, you got the upgraded "wave warranty" as the UPS guy took it I waved good-bye

Boat doc, i bet you are still staring at the masterpiece

Doc, nice of you to stop by...and always after Eric?!!? LOL

As for R&R, I'm way ready to start putting it back together and would hate to have to take it apart again!

Chevy Orange...you should've seen Amy's face the first time she saw it! LOL She wasn't happy. Now that it has had time to cure and darken a bit...plus adding the black parts, she thinks I did OK?!!? ROFL

Eric, I see "VERY LITTLE HUMOR" in that statement,is that the warranty you give to all your clients or just the poor suckers you pull from OUR site.
Again I think that was in poor taste................Boat dr

My take on this site is not to make money off of it , but to be a guide to those that need direction.But above all to SUPPORT KEITH with donations that keep this tool open to all...............

Eric's yankin my chain; if he left 1 of those 50 cent C clips out of mine I'm sure he'd make it good. We're swapping inside jokes anyway.

I agree with Doc on the site and Keith. I've tried to do my share and I can't put in words how much better off I am from what I've learned from everyone!!!

If you are speaking of that Bow Tie yes she be pretty, a lot of work, time and PRIDE is showing a something to be proud of.
If you are speaking of the tranny, a can of paint will make a turd look new, how well did you do the inside???????

Greg, Don't get a complex just because the doc has the idea that good engines have distributors in the front. Guess what, he forgets that Fords were in the rear as well until they had "a better idea". I still don't know what that better idea is!!!

Pete, if my memory is correct did GM move the spark plug wires to the front of their later V-8 motors.
Nah I must have been dreaming,but maybe not.I own both a Ford and a Z-71 and a Dodge Van and a Honda and a Yamaha outboard and a Honda 4 Wheeler and a Poulan chain saw and an English Setter and Three American Pointers and married a girl from Mississippi.

Have you not discovered that this is a site for Correct Crafts, and if we did a poll what motor would be the most used in these older boats???? Bet orange was not in the hunt...
Your personal taste as to what is and what ain't deemed a color is a moot point.
Heard thru the grapevine you was doing a swap trade for a real boat,maybe then you will become one of us.A part of and not apart from, thats a nat place to be.
But you will screw that up with a late model GM, when you toss the Blue Oval motor in the trash pile

Eric, you don't want me to go into anything on this site. AS it will get very messy for you my friend. I was being civil and thought the comment on the wave warrenty was funny. I was leaving our business in the dark. But if you want me to bring it to light I will bring it and the pictures so you tell me what you would like to have happen.

On a lighter note, what I think is my very last engine part is on its way from Woody. I'll try to get a clear pic up when it comes in.

Amy is happy about this! LMAO

Buffalo,

Please excuse me for being rude, that was not my intent. The motor looks sweet. I wish you the best for a problem free install. Nothing better then putting a fresh engine with no problems other then fine tuning.

No worries 87. I didn't take anything as being rude and thanks for the compliment! My last part is the flame arrestor and I can't wait to see it. My regards to Woody if he sees this...super fine guy!

I'll have some questions for you when I get to the reinstall point. For starters, how is your trans cable routed? I'm not sure if mine was correct or not. Also, was your set up basically the way the factory put it? And what are the odds of you having some pics to that end?

Don't worry guys, I took tons of pics before I took anything apart. I even tried to take wierd angle pics, and I recommend this for anyone taking on a first time project.

Break's over...back to the patch!

Who else has 1 in my year range...Tull, Foot? Mine was routed accross the top of the engine and I'm hoping this isn't the way it's supposed to be.
