Chris Craft Scorpion 210 Restoration

Used real teak and ovartrol oil. The oil looks almost as varnish, but easier to improve year by year.

Congrats on the splash! Looks great.

Short season this year =) up on land again.

I managed to fix some issues (and find some more) so that it (hopefully) will be prepared for next year.

* Needed to replace the control module to get the cut-off to work
* Realised that my shift plate was for an EFI model and need to replace the switch with a "normally open" instead of NC
* Found a leaking gasket on the intake manifold.
* Have high oil pressure, didn't figure that out yet
* Have a broken water temperature sensor

At lest the broken gasket made me re-paint the intake manifold =)

A fresh coat of paint always feels better, lol.

He has all theses Euro materials available to him that we just haven't gotten to our marketplace yet. They are light years ahead of us in regards to product "sustainability" and applications.
Boat does look sweet!

The sound insulation is quite smart. It is a combination material with a inner high density material that stops the sound from going into the frame and a outer sound insulation with a coated surface.

Thats some fancy stuff... I ordered some thermal acoustic material which looks like the fluffy foil stuff I took out... We'll see how it works out, maybe i'll do a before and after... If it doesn't work that great then maybe I'll look into this stuff.

The project looks really good.!!

Your comments on the ignition module - yes you will need an alpha module to get the shift interrupt working, otherwise on the water the drive won’t come out if gear into neutral. This will work fine with the Edelbrock carb it only sets the ignition advance curve. When I swapped by V6 for a V8 I was able to find a used module on eBay . As mentioned you need the NO shift interrupt switch.

I just sis some slight tuning on the edelbrock with a larger accelerator pump nozzle and one size richer step up rods. Base thing at 10 deg BTDC works really well and pulls really strong.

Thanks for the answer,

They don't sell the alpha module anymore so had to get the Control Module Conversion Kit (807264A01) instead, which works for both Alpha and Bravo. Worked like a charm.

Will try the tuning at 10 BTDC (now at 8), also need to see what's original and not on my carb.

Ok good the module worked out. I only did 10 deg btdc because that is factory setting for my vortec 5.0, yours is non vortec , so not sure if the factory setting is 8 btdc.

How does yours run as it currently is tuned ?

Got everything to work yesterday and runs great =) Have a non vortex an it is as you said 8 btdc, currently set a bit earlier approx 9-10.

Some "concern" about my square bore to spread bore adapter. It its an open adapter and I have a split intake. Edelbrock recommends an adapter with 4 -holes so that they are separated all the way to the intake.

Any idea about why Edelbrock recommends that?

First real trip with the boat, works great and handles very well =)

 

[kcassells]

Very nice!!!

 

[sphelps]

[oldrem]

if i recall it was something about vacuum with a open adaptor its kinda like a tunnell ram/single plain where as 4 hole keeps them separated
