    140hp 3.0 spark plugs

    Hello, Going to do new- wires, cap, rotor & plugs on a 1984, 3.0 140hp. Current plugs in it are R43T Delco, which are 5/8", taper with non-extended tip. Is that the correct plug? If not, what is the recommended spark plug/part #, please? I tried the search feature but didn't have much luck...

    My apologies, I forgot to say thank you. Was a busy day and I did use the bellows on that one! Thanks, again! Rex

    Exhaust boot

    Is there any performance difference between a boot, compared to bellows on exhaust? Putting a quicksilver gimbal kit on a friends v-6, alpha 1 and as I disassembled, I noted it has a boot. I'd like to get this done today but he's concerned he'll loose power. I did tell him we could leave the old...

    1986 V-6 OMC repairs.

    I 'transplanted' the broken lower OMC unit with a rebuilt lower unit, though I did have to use some parts from the broken one. I didn't change drives, and the volvo drive I mentioned, is another boat. Sorry to confuse.

    Just an update. Definitely different than Merc units, but had successful transplant, at least on muffs. River test Sat. Thank you all for the help. Next up is a Volvo!

    Roger that. On a quick look back at the replacement, I see no shift cable protruding from it. Oops.

    Ok, did a little google work and now that I've seen pics of the lower unit and the replacement section, they do look similar. All sorts of differences over the years, electric shift, etc. I'm going to tell them to bring it (171 miles, one way) to me and I'll have a look see, but no guarantee I...

    Ok. Wasn't going to repair, just replace assuming the replacement lower unit they got with the boat, is a match.

    They sent me a pic of the drive. No numbers, they say. Where are numbers on OMC? Thank you!

    Supposedly has an OMC service manual for pre-88 (?) outdrives with it. Guess we'll see what we see when it shows up. Thank you.

    That was one of the things that bothered me about that unit. He said the color matched the one on the boat but, if you look closely at the picture, it looks gray, under a quick rattle can spray job.

    Thank you. That's the only picture I have, the one of the replacement. The seller told the buyer it isn't a Cobra and the outdrive replacement matched but again won't know till they get me the boat. I did tell them to look for model on outdrive and the engine.
