Randy, If he is having a hard time finding parts, then you have the wrong guy working on it. Sorry! Does he understand he's working on a Continental engine? http://www.graymarineparts.com/" rel="nofollow - Gray Marine parts He can also call Ted at 847 395 8902 He'll most likely will be able to help with the carb. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Fantastic! Don't forget the pictures of the finished engine!  Also, make sure he paints it the proper color!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

The flatheads were always just a smoke gray for the regular engines. The Fireballs were painted red. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
