I just picked up a 1989 Glastron Carlson 19css project boat with a 5.7 merc that is seized and a alpha 1 gen 1 drive. The boat came with another 5.7 that I am going to tear apart and look it over I have a few questions.
1. The serial number of replacement engine is F358546 also says 5.7 lg sci on block. Trying to find out the year/info on it tried a few sights that you can search the serial number but comes up with no results.
2. The replacement motor did not come with a carb nor did the old motor I have 2 carbs a Weber 4 barrel from a 454 and a quadrajet 4 barrel from a old 5.7. The intake is a Bowtie Marine High Rise Intake Manifold # 14096242 What carb should I use/have rebuilt? the weber is in better shape but post opinions below.
3. I also have 2 distributor setups not sure what one I should use I will post info/pics of both shortly.
