From the picture it shows you have selected to fuel any engine from any tank.I run mine with the middle valve closed so as to run fuel from port tank to port engine and starboard to starboard only

Now that's the spot to run the boat from, very nice.

a good upgarde for the ignition is to convert it to a GM hei by dumping the ballast and adding a GM lx301 module and a good 12 volt coil keeping the chrysler electronic distribtor

Hi Gary I 've had my boat docked on the gulf north of Tampa since 2011 and no problems.We rinse it off after use including the inside running gear. You have to keep up on the zincs and do the bottom about every 18 monts, I use trilux 33. You should also come up with a engine fresh water flush system...

Hi Carl your ladder has been modified. I modified mine in a similar way but I used stainless chain and a starboard tread .

The gear that drives the distribtor and the oil pump is different and only a reverse rotation one will work for a reverse rotation motor.

Thanks Eric I found the parts at Dons Marine Slavage in Clearwater. Dons has several LM318's laying around and all kinds of boat parts and accesories to look through. I have found that a reverse rotation motor has a special distribtor drive and only that one must be used.

Thanks Jeff, I have everything for the reverse running engine except the the drive gear that runs the distributor and oil pump can I use the drive gear I got from napa or does it have to be a special one just reverse running motors. I have new long block just not the distributor drive gear.

Hi all, does a reverse rotation motor use a different distribtor drive gear or can I use any 318 distribtor and oil pump drive gear from napa or some other auto parts supplier for my reverse engine. Thanks
