I ordered a 351w HEI distributor from Performance Distributors last month. Its a piece of art!!! Hated to stick in in my motor and then cover it up.......

I just did this conversion on my 87 Comp. I went with the DUI HEI distributor from Performance Distributors. They build the distributors specifically for your application so as to have the proper...

That's one of the choices I was looking at. Just hope someone here could give some feedback. I also found this one...

Anyone have any Supertrapp discs off your older Supra? I have a 87 Comp ts6m and want to let her breathe a little better so I need to add some more discs. I am willing to buy them and pay shipping....

Has anyone done this? I have done all the normal upgrades, Pertronix ignition plate, flamethrower coil, new cap and rotor, new wires, but I still have hard starting issues and late last season it...

Thanks for all the replies. It is definitely a 4160 of some description. I pulled the carb and measured the bores and all were ~1.56 inches. I went out yesterday with the wife and kids so I didn't...

CJD I am not arguing the fact that a 600 Holley is the better choice. That is what I have and it is on the engine. I need to identify the carb in my first post to find the correct rebuild kit. I had...

I'm with you Jasun. I've been serching for a few days and have yet to find a match. Looks like I have some sort of Frankencarb. I believe it is a 4160 600cfm but somebody over the years replaced the...

Oh boy, where do I start. After a year of chasing settings I figured out that the Eddy carbs don't like over 5-6psi of fuel pressure. So if I don't want to spend more money on a pressure regulator...

Yes it has electric choke. Not sure if the paint is original or added by whomever put it on this engine. The finish isn't very durable and gas actually will remove the paint very easy. I figured a...

Can someone help me here. I'm done fighting with this Edlebrock 1410. I have the old Holley that was on the boat when I bought it but removed it cause of the leaking secondaries problem. I needed to...

1987 Supra TS6m
351w, GT40p heads, Performer RPM intake, Edlebrock 1410
Velvet Drive 1:1

Acme 541 13x12 3-blade
Great holeshot, great ski wake, great fuel economy
WOT 4500~4600rpm @ 44-45mph...

Any one ever need to replace the dash warning lights on their Comp? My low fuel light blew so I swapped it with the voltage light but I need to find a replacement. Where can I find the stock bulbs?...

Thanks for the reply. I have to replace a head as one of mine is cracked from the previous owner not winterizing correctly. I'm not sure what "crome a PP" is. If there isn't any thing to gain from an...

Finally getting around to putting new heads on my 87 TS6m. Decided to upgrade to GT40P's. Now before I install them I was wondering if I should go ahead and get a Edlebrock Performer intake or just...

I can't believe I bought a boat with a cracked head............

Out today to test my fin realignment and noticed these rust stains. Obviously the freeze plug is leaking when the engine is hot. Should I replace this plug or just let it ride. From the looks of it,...

Another project completed. Removed all the fins and straightened them with my 6-ton press. Now if I sit on the motor box while on plane the boat rides pretty level. (I was alone) I set the wake plate...

OK, here is a pic of the skegs from behind directly under the prop shaft. Notice how they are all bent but the rear one has it the worst. Is this normal? Did it come like this from the factory? If...

Thanks for the tip Jetlink. I will use a straight edge and get the wake plate flush with the rest of the hull. I will also try to grease the steering linkage at the stern and see if it helps any with...

Wow, if it would turn 4800 rpms with this prop that would be nearly 50+ mph. I guess there are alot of factors. I do know it will jump out of the water when you hammer it off idle. Probably gets to...

Salty my RPM's are about 3800-3900 WOT and I see about 39-40 mph. I think she is a little tired. Has almost 1100 hrs on her. 35 is plenty fast if it ran straight and level.

Yes haugy I did have an...

Back at the pond today to make sure my exhaust re-seal job worked. This thing is a handful when it is running over 35mph. Not to mention I can't seem to get more than 40mph but thats not a big issue....

Ok, well we shall see. I got some Ultra Black high temp gasket maker. Removing the old stuff was a PITA. Looks like the last guy used some type of sealant that wasn't fuel/oil resistant. I actually...

I've been working on making this floating bathtub watertight. I reinforced and resealed my swim platform bolts this week but need to reseal the exhaust before this weekend. Unfortunately I cannot...
