A points conversion might be a good addition while you have it apart. I've used several Pertronix kits, the oldest is working fine after 15 years. Really hard to go back to points once you have a set it and forget it system.

@TruthPoliceLegend 5 ай бұрын

I put a Pertronix in my 351 Ford powered 1979 Mastercraft boat then removed it and reinstalled the original Prestolite points distributor. The Pertronix torque curve devalued performance even after trying several different distributor advances and retards. I'm sure that Pertronix engineers could build the distributer with a custom set torque curve but why bother? I just want the boat to start, pull a big load and have fun like it was designed for and put it back on the hoist at end of day. Towing a pyramid and multiple skiiers demands a flat and even predictable torque curve. The pertronix suffered mid range pep and that is what those boats require as well as takeoff power.

@SRMWorkshop 5 ай бұрын

@@TruthPoliceLegend I can totally sea that being an issue if you do the full distributer replacement, the curves would be way wrong for that application. However I did a points conversion set in the original distributer for a 1986 Ski Nautique with a reverse rotation Ford 351 and it ran great. My 1985 Volvo aq124a stern drive also runs great with a conversion set.

@TruthPoliceLegend 5 ай бұрын

Good info thanks, it was a full distributor replacement. I still have the Pertronix on the shelf--what to do? I wouldn't sell it without telling a buyer about the torque curve but am sure consulting the manufacturer might help. maybe they will take it back and can reassign an original profile Perhaps the curve is profiled for a car? It's running good so I'll leave it alone for now. @@SRMWorkshop

@SRMWorkshop 5 ай бұрын

@@TruthPoliceLegend I would bet it's curved for a car. A curve for a boat should be similar to a curve for a heavy truck (F450-F550). If you are a standard rotation you should be safe to just sell it on, I think the only difference on the reverse rotation version is the drive gear but I'm not sure on that one. I did a different conversion for my truck, it was a Ford base with a GM HEI top. It seems to run fine but the power band is a bit weird. I suspect it's a similar issue to what you felt just not as extreme.

You did really well on it but I'd still prefer the 1966. These drive like a truck. (and yes I've driven one, along with a 1967 and a 1970, and a 1974)

73 was no different...rode like crap. COnstantly rebuilding or replacing calipers, expensive parts. Lost its appeal real fast! PLus it was pig slow being an L82

@@gordocarbo I can't argue with things being expensive in 73, anything vette related back then was double or triple the price for no good reason. Cheap these days in comparison. But "pig slow" is relative.

Its cool that Hoovie has been subbing a bit for Steve Magnante. Class act. Shows a bit of Hoovie's character.

I'll just go on the record to say I'd never let Hoovie drive any of my cars! lol

I personally don't think anyone can really fill Steve's shoes. What you did do was fill your shoes. I enjoyed the auction and think you did a great job.

Great job as usual my man. Keep doing those burn outs! I've had multiple Corvettes and have a 65. Although I did have the dif rebuilt before I really got on it but I do burn outs regularly! I'm not trying to cut down on what the wizard told you but, that old girl can handle some burn outs! Just watch your revs. And thank you for what you're doing for Steve. You do a great job on the block at BJ.
