I'm currently in the middle of rebuilding a chevy 305, and my boat right now is a v-6 3.8liter. My question is (keep in mine money is not very abundant) whether or not I should upgrade my outdrive to a cobra, since I currently have an old stringer electric shift. Or would it be ok to simply go...
It's a 69 155horse buick. When I'm just cruising along like 1k rpms, and I gas it, it coughs, sputters and sometimes dies. Jets are spraying fuel into intake maifold, so fuel is plentiful. Is it possibly electrical? Any ideas would help. <br /><br />Thanks
Could a guy get away with using synthetic ATF in the upper drive housing on a '69 OMC sterndrive? I have some extra laying around from the last time I changed my explorer's fluid, so I thought perhaps this stuff might just fit a purpose elsewhere! <br /><br />Thanks
Hey guys, I have a 69 buick 155 horse and want to replace the points/condensor setup and go electronic. Does Pertronix make a setup that will work for this motor? If so, should i also change the ignition coil? <br /><br />Thanks
Alright guys, <br /><br />Bear with me. I'm not a millionaire by any means, which is why I have the boats I have! <br /><br />For a long story short, I have a 71 glasspar, and it has the OMC outdrive. The forward gear went out and I found a 69 evinrude with the same motor and drive for 500...

Howdy folks,<br /><br />I have a v-6 buick 155 horse with OMC outdrive. Everything is working great right now except one thing: When I'm at idle and gas it, it surges, sometimes backfires and then takes off like a rocket. Not sure what it's all about, but I realized why they put flame...
Howdy, <br /><br />I have this 71 buick 155 v-6 with your standard ignition setup. Ya know, points in the distributor, ballast resistor. I was wondering if it would be worth it to convert it to an electronic setup and if so, what would be the necessary steps to complete this task???<br /><br...
Hey folks,<br /><br />I'm wondering what the effects of having no thermostat in my engine might be. It's a 3.8 GM/OMC outdrive Raw water cooled. :confused:
I have a simple question for you all. I have an old OMC with a 3.8litre GM, Buick, whatever it may be. Anyway, I purchased it recently and the hot light came on when I took it out! So, I pulled it out of the water and started an examination of the cooling system. When I opened up the...
