    never ever ever had to use a potentiometer on a gauge ever. and I must have designed at a minimum, 800 different fuel tank installations from marine to off-highway to on-highway So I am pretty sure

    1988 3.0 and 1994 3.0 swap

    in 1990 the motor went thru a major re-design for 1991. the crank went from a 2-piece to a 2-piece. at the same time, the block changed, the head changed, the pistons and rods changed. the use in boats went from the 153 tooth flywheel to the 168 tooth flywheel yes, while they are both 3.0...

    89 Volvo Penta AQ271C ignition or carb, maybe something else

    You have timing tape on the damper. It's used to validate full advance the groove is TDC or 0 Timing tab is standard SBC. The big V is TDC At 2800 RPM, your total advance should be 32 or 34 (see decal on vanity cover)
