Same happened to me out on the water... got my daughter who was out on the jetski to tow me in… no spark figured it out quick but funny get towed in by your 15 yr old…
Not sure if you have a thunderbolt ignition or earlier points... If TB the module usually will say V8-22 or V8-24 the 22 or 24 or whatever is on there is the degrees of advance added to intial timing.
As a rule of thumb would think 28-32 total by like 2800-3k rpm should at least be between the...
I guess you didn't do a water test?
Would look at a couple things starting with basics- Do you have serial number so we can see what you have ? - assuming it is a 2 bbl carb with Thunderbolt ignition?
Check compression and firing order on spark plugs, check ignition timing including total...
reasonably maintained a marine SBC will outlast the boat.
Not sure if yo are doing the work or if you are having it done but on a typical deck boat or bowrider there is not a lot of labor in pulling and engine, at least not enough to justify swapping a long block just because you have it out...
no gremlins as a Rochester 2 jet is about as simple as it gets. If I had to guess someone reversed the lever that connects the accelerator pump to the pivot shaft in float bowl top.
Look on your tube at mikes carb parts videos he has a bunch of rochester 2 jet and mercarb (very similar later...
You have to take the sparkplugs out to turn the engine by hand. All I was saying, since you mentioned you thought a tooth was gone - before you jank the engine make sure the flywheel ring gear is roached.
Do you have a carbed or MPI 5.0 now? If carbed the upgrade is easier although would be a...
You also can just buy the ring gear at a local auto parts store. You can youtube some videos of how to get the old one of the flywheel and heat up the new one to slip on the flywheel.
I would take the starter off an completely turn the flywheel and inspect all teeth before doing this as yo...

first take it back to him as timing at be off and this is detonation or something amiss like firing order. if the engine is original it should have the delco est .

I had that on a clear filter on my 65 gto. been a few years but went away when i replaced the 30 year old mechanical fuel pump. Tank was rusty and seemed that when it would sit it took a while for fuel to get back up to the carb… replaced fuel pump and it almost immediately refills carb bowl...
Yes was a no brainer back then. I think a 5.0 or 5.7 was about $3200-$3400 plus freight no core charge. Reman was like $2200-2400. Maybe off a couple hundred on each but no matter who folks got the reman from it was 50/50. i think the same package i got from Mich Motorz now is about $2 k more...
Its great if you have a local machine shop who can do a quality rebuild. Stories like yours is whyi bought a new base engine vs rebuilt. Of course this was in 2015 when the difference between new and reman was just under $1k.
i assume you have a noticeable increase in power with the vortec?
