    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    I want electronic or at least solid state ignition. I know the points are perfectly fine in general, but i don’t want point bounce/ inaccuracy under boost. So a pertronix kit is something I would install in a points dizzy. The other crazy thought is, the Delco Voyager limits the advance to 23*...

    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    So the 6cyl ones are available everywhere for not a lot of money. I wonder if there is a benefit to getting a rebuilt vs used distributor

    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    I’ll have to check it out. I forgot to mention that nobody local except one place can get the cardone distributor. Cardone lists it as available to order but it comes up as rebuild only at the parts stores. There is one part store that is quite a bit more expensive but has a lot of odd parts...

    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    The 4cyl cap would fit the 6cyl body if I swapped the shaft? I was thinking along the lines of swapping the vac advance stuff. If I convert to an MSD 6 BTM, than I can run the Sniper for just fuel and it’ll work.

    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    Unfortunately the engines still stuck in the boat, which is wrapped for storage

    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    That’s an interesting thought. It is a Delco distributor after all

    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    I remember hearing about Tom’s years ago. That may be the way to go if nothing pans out.. I do have the original points marine distributor to build a new one from. If that’s the way to go. Edit. I meant to say Dave’s Small body HEI

    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    I saw that distributor. Sent him an offer he declined. There’s actually one listed on Car-part for $50 but no mention of condition

    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    Thanks. It’s the only part that’s a real hiccup.

    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    Ideally I want the sniper to control the advance. The sniper can operate a magnetic pickup on its own I’m pretty sure . think that is what they’re ready to run distributors do. Just pass the signal directly to the ECU but ones not available for the 153 If I leave the sniper out of the equation...

    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    I emailed Tom to see what he can do… Looks like the EST could work, but it would need to be run with an external module, removing the internal and 3D printing a grommet insert vs the original module. I’m not 100% sure if the Sniper can control a distributor directly

    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    So they don’t use a mechanical advance? The chip does it all?

    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    I need a distributor with locked timing to run fuel injection on an old 153 that I’m putting in my rat rod ( 1970 Mercruiser 2.5 ) First will the 3.0L MPI distributor fit? And second. What kind of trigger does it use? Hall effect or optical?… the reason is I may go down the turbocharging rabbit...

    Tractor supply most likely. Replacement wheel for one of their splitters if nothing more. They exist still

    Need help identifying a 1978(?) Starcraft, 27' long

    Not anywhere near $8k… if you want a house boat hull it’ll work, and if your thinking non planing speeds, 20hp will scoot it at displacement speed without much trouble. I would investigate the bracket more but it should handle it. CDN, I’d think $2,500. Id have a hard time with $1,500 myself

    Trailer Updating Help Needed?

    In my eyes, it’s scrap. That wheel arrangement is common on wood splitters. I don’t think there is a hub to convert it. Perhaps there is and you can save it. But with that axle, a new trailer is probably less than the cost of refurbishing

    Need help identifying a 1978(?) Starcraft, 27' long

    The outboard looks to be very small. With that setup, it could probably hold 25-30hp 4 stroke. But I agree with the others. It’s a cobbled up mess. Doesn’t look quite right

    Any old ford I have with EEC IV controls, I keep a spare TFI in the glove box. I sold my last one a couple years ago. Never needed a spare though but always hear the stories
