Not bad for 72--
I have a couple of Supra branded speedometers for sale. They are the electronic paddlewheel type. I only have 1 paddlewheel (not pictured). Instructions are included. Make an offer, I can ship...
There have been several posts on other forums, boaters have been having good luck with this distributer. All of the sensors on the GT40 can be bought at your local auto parts store. Nothing marine...
Get this at Amazon, $75, I have one in my garage just in case. Many people on other forums have used them with success. You will have to swap the plastic base that sits under the cap. There is no...
Your fuel pressure is a little on the low side, should be 39psi + or -3. Hotwire the pump and run it for 5-10 minutes and see if the pressure stays at 35 or gradually drops off. The link is to a...
Keep the photos of the old guys and gals coming!
Check the carb to see if there is actually fuel there, look down into the bores while the engine is running, pump the throttle and you should see fuel squirt into the carb. If the fuel lines are...
Check out a DUI distributor {Davis Unified Ignition} should be easy to install.
I think you can probably swap the choke cap from your old carb onto the new one. You need the choke with the 2 wire...
I put some GT-40P heads, a Performer RPM manifold, and Pertronix ignition, on mine and I gasket matched the mating surfaces.
Got it up to 44-45 mph, not much gain, but it really sounds good!
Looking for advice on a slalom ski, mine is really hard for me to get up on now. Used to be able to ski the course at 15' off. I posted the video on here a while back. Old age and weight have...
You can trace a pattern if you have 1 window for the side glass and have a local shop cut it for you. The side windows are "Green Glass" If you need the hinge you will have to find a parts boat.
There are several electronic conversions available. Pertronix is one, SKIDIM has 1 that they sell, If I was doing it all over I think I would go with a DUI (Davis Unified Ignition) distributer for...
Show us a picture of the inside of the riser and manifold where the riser bolts on.
Old guys gotta stick together!
Float your boat down the Missouri to St Joe and I'll take a look at it! Make sure your transmission cooler isn't clogged with debris, this happened to me. Seriously I would like to take a look, I...

Check out the muddy Missouri River. Skiing behind my 89 Comp.
Yes, the electronic ignition will replace the points and do away with the resistor, you can get the kit from Ski-Dim or you can get a Pertronix from a parts house like Jegs or Summit. Make sure the...
I have an 89. Engine has been tweaked a little.
Comp cam, roller rockers, Edelbrock RPM intake, Pertronix ignition, GT-40 heads, and a new Holley carb.
That part is the resistor for the ignition. Looks like part of the porcelain shell just broke off. Don't worry about it, if the boat starts, it is good. The boat will not start if that resistor is...
fastab,
Thanks for the additional clarification to my post. Mallory, Accell, Pertronix, and the other aftermarket ignition suppliers all offer high performance marine components. If anyone wants...
Hey guys,
An automotive distributor is NOT a good idea in a boat. The air inside the distributer cap becomes ionized as the spark jumps from the rotor to the cap towers. Because of this...
Looking for waterskiers in NW Missouri, north of KC, in St. Joseph. We usually ski the river or a couple of oxbow lakes, or Smithville Lake. If you are in the area or passing through, let me know,...
You can get the glass cut at a glass supplier. You will need to make a template from the glass on the other side of the boat if it is still there. The hinge and latch were available at Boat Windows...
They could have been leaking when the mechanic winterized the engine. Did the he run the engine to fog it? If he did, the leak would have been noticeable.
I left water in one of my exhaust manifolds years ago in a VIP inboard. Found out it was cracked when I was in the middle of the lake and had water coming up in the bilge. The boat was only two...
