Not even close autolite is a ford plug and AC delco is a gm plug and they do not mix.. yeah they will run with one leg broken..

Are you serious?

well, this problem is at the bottom of the list now.

The gears in the lower part of the outdrive blew up and went through the shell. yyaaayyyy. I had seen the crack in the lower part of the case, but I didn't know there was supposed to be seperate gear oil in there. I know know though!! No wonder the engine was acting like it was locking up on me.

Now to find me an alpha one gen 2 lower unit with a 1.84 or 1.81.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that. I guess since there was a crack in it, the whole thing was going to need replacing anyway. The housing may have been fixable (welding)???? But I suppose there were some rust issues that would mandate new parts. Best of luck to ya!

Well back a few years ago in a family owned business you might find your sockets missing if you installed a autolite in a gm product...

Sounds like you have the making of ,"An old wives tale."

Well the upper was locked up too. So I ordered an (I think people have refered to them as this) SEI. I think it said SE116. My gimbal bearing is toast to, so I got the transom rebuild kit, the anode kit and install kit to go along with the outdrive. I can't believe how easy it was to remove the outdrive!
