Re: Found the 67 9.2 chrysler impeller. Whats "full gear shift".
Thanks guys! Found this out also from the man I'm getting my parts from! He says he has a bunch of NOS if you know anyone that needs parts to fit the 66-67 9.2.(laingsoutboards.com) Also, I've received the impeller and it's not exactly the same as the one I removed. The "original" had ten blades and the replacement has six. The "body" of the "original" has a brass bushing encased by the rubber piece with the blades. The rubber base is slightly larger making the blades slightly shorter than the new one, which, as I said only has six longer blades and is made of all rubber as far as my naked eye can see(all other specs match). I have to wonder if the previous owner installed the wrong part or if the "blade spec" changed. Any help here as to wether this will cause me any cooling problems. I'm assuming (dangerous thing to do) that less longer blades will move as much water as more shorter blades. Thanks Capt. Ken for the oil ratio info! I've been using the ratio that the previous owner told me which was 50:1. I've always had a tendency to run it a little rich with oil. It's a good thing. I hopefully haven't done major damge to the rings, piston, cylinder, etc. Now I really wonder if the man put the right part in to begin with!
