Re: Alternator / Ignition / Ballast resistor questions from a dummy

Here's some input/experience from my boat. My alternators were updated to the one wire type by the previous owner ( my boat has Chryslers in her). Worked flawlessly for five years now. Ask any hot-rodder/old car buff, the one-wire is the only way to go. I'm guessing that since you are asking about b...

Re: Question: Oil Capacity in a Chrysler 360?

Not sure if they are different, but there are two different oil pans for the Mopars, one is stamped steel, like on a Dodge truck, the other, as on my M, are cast aluminum. Depending on the transmission/outdrive is what determined the oil pan.

Re: Extened Platform

Just to add to Jim's post, I believe a 28' and 32' share the same beam, where as the 37'-41' are wider by roughly two feet. And asking FastJeff, did you add extra support underneath for your extension? I would like to extend mine for my dink as well.

Re: Thermostat Housing

The image of the cast housing #3745360 is not the only type used. Mine, a 1975 model, uses housing Chrysler part #E7093M, which if you google images of this type, you will see that the two nipples to feed water to the exhaust manifolds, are brass 90*s that thread into the housing. Also, if you cross...

Re: Aft Deck... Diamond plate aluminum?

My deck was converted to Al by the previous owner, with indoor/outdoor carpet on top of in. Not sure the thickness, but I think it's just screwed onto the original framework. Not sure diamond plate would be ideal, would think it would be a little rough on the feet and reflect too much sunlight.

Re: New owner engine stall issues

Tuggle, do you remember what part numbers for the DUI dist's ? I was thinking of making the same conversion. Are there two different part numbers for CW and CCW rotation? I looked on Summit racing's web site and they only list the reverse rotation part number.

Re: New owner engine stall issues

To answer you question about low voltage affecting the running of the engine, yes it has a lot to do with it. Most, especially the Chrysler, electronic ignition systems, will not function properly below 9.6 volts, or function at all. The same holds true for modern engines with computer controlled fu...
