    Mercruiser 5.7 with V6-14 TB IV module??

    if it worked before you pulled the dist most likely is it is mis timed. The V6 module will work fine to run And you don’t have to advance it more than your normal 10 degrees initial to get it to start. It will not give as much total advance but you can worry about that later. I tested my engine...

    Can't remove 5.7 vertically.

    Nice. The only thing I may suggest- something to make sure the chain can't slide off the end if the engine gets hung up on something

    The two piece uses this coupler That bolts to crank hub https://www.michiganmotorz.com/mercruiser-hub-style-coupler-1985-earlier other diffs are the starter bolt pattern. I believe your original engine will use a 14” flywheel with staggered pattern , replacement engine will use the 12 5/8”...

    9670 Carb question

    Are you looking to rebuild or replace the carb. If looking to replace vs rebuild i belive an edlebrock 1409 would be a drop in replacement

    4.3 Replacing exhaust manifolds - ditch nylon drain plugs?

    Have not had an issue with mine but replace the plugs every couple years. If you feel better replace them or upgrade to brass pipe thread fittings. You don’t neccesaarily need a drain plug can remove hose to winterize

    VP 4.3 GL conversion to Holley Sniper 2 efi

    I ended up with the VP kit for same reason as op, couldn’t find a kit that matched the carb number. Mikes could only give me a probably should work about their kit. the VP kit was only $25 more than mikes kit so worth it if not one can guarantee fit. i think I got if from Leaders RPM in michigan.

    VP 4.3 GL conversion to Holley Sniper 2 efi

    based on your symptoms yes start with carb rebuild. would also get a new float. Last summer i did the holley 2 bbl on my buddies 4.3 VP. Starts and runs perfect now. I found an oem VP kit for less than $100. I got the float at mikes carb, they also have good how to vids. The idea to replace...

    VP 4.3 GL conversion to Holley Sniper 2 efi

    I think there was a guy on here doing sniper to his Mercruiser 3.7 or may have been Marine engine forum. You can type sniper in the search and get all the threads where guys have done it... I think the issue the guy may have hit was coolant temp. You want to verify this in case I am talking...

    305 boat cam

    @Scott Danforth can probably recommend a cam if you really want to spend for a roller. Would also recommend the Edelbrock 1409. Not to spend your money, but it is easier than spending mine.... what would be worth it if you haven't done the machine work on the heads is get a set of vortec...

    2001 Maxum 2400 sc for 13k v 1995 FourWinns 238 vista

    Have you priced upholstery work? I had my sunpad redone 2 years ago was almost a grand and took 3 months. Have you checked any wood structure like transom and stringers for rot? All other things being equal unless you can do the upholstery work I'd do the maxum as you will be close to same...

    Winterize carb

    to be blunt sounds like a dumb way to get gas treatment in the carb... put it in the tank so it gets mixed and run it on the way to pull it out at end of year ( or on the trailer). Has worked for me for 30 years on both E10 and non ethanol. Boat I get non ethanol dock side jetski I fill up cans...

    I add stabil to the tank before last run of season. Never had an issue with non ethanol or E10 doing this.

    Can't remove 5.7 vertically.

    Doesnt make it any easier for the OP, but if you have done rigging or industrial maintenance work its not an issue. In a perfect world yes the dog house would come off but 99 % of boat owners never have to remove the engine.
