    Making new dashes for an old Caravelle, should I keep the molds?

    Agreed, there is no market. If you want to end up with a small fortune restoring boats, start with a large fortune to apply towards the boat.

    Bottom paint

    1-part top side paint is only good for a few days under water. Gel is what I would do on the bottom. And then boat wax to wax the hull to keep growth at bay. However if you are going to use a 1-part paint, I would recommend bottom paint (easy to apply, not aesthetically pleasing)

    first, welcome aboard. second, make sure the pump is plumbed correctly. there is an arrow cast in the pump body for fuel flow direction. third, make sure the pump is wired correctly with an oil pressure switch and a relay.

    Have spark and fuel, can't get the rebuilt engine to start

    Both valves will be closed one revolution later too. However only for a brief moment as compared to the compression stroke where the valves would be closed for about 45 degrees of crankshaft revolution Out of those compression numbers , only cylinder 7 is in spec
