So that tilt pump has a brass line on the side. What's at the end of tha tbrass line in your boat? Mine, as it came to me was poorly connected to a container that used to be part of an upper unit oiler system. It leaks ATF in my engine compartment, and I wish I knew what was supposed to be there...
aCan't help you with your new drive, but I have one of the IC/IB/IC EX-shift drives. With the Chevy 230, 6 cyl.
Also fighting the tilt system, among other things.
Working on a '66 with a GM inline 6-cyl. I'm upgrading the original points/condenser distributor with an HEI. The original system relies on a resistance wire to deliver 9 volts, HEI needs, 12, so I started tracing the wire to the coil. A previous owner or mechanic did a really nice, detailed job...

Not everyone is into vintage, especially those who see damage and immediately think "time to throw it away." My approach to that damage...
Running a new-to-me '66 Mercruiser IC with EZ-shift. I had the sterndrive off in order to evaluate its condition before I was willing to drive it. But I did not crack open the gear box. I also did not attempt any adjustments to the shift linkages when I reassembled it. Although I'm mechanically...
