Great post-- thanks--- it seems many people are having the same gauge issues---- I had the same problem with temp sender on small block mopar and ended up drilling and tapping a new larger hole to accommodate the only senders you can get now---- my stuff is the same ,some work and most I don't trust...

Read some info on electronic forum where they talked about ppr and they not only counted the pulse spikes but also the spaces between------ on a crank trigger type they used a default of 60 ppr so that 16 number may not be far off---- their tech person should be able to say exactly what to use--- Mike

I am pulling right off the sender off the back of the tach to a Noland RS11 analog to digital converter. Then it displays on a lowrance head unit. The ppr is a number I program into the RS11. Try running a temporary wire from coil like prowlerfish mentioned instead of from your tach ,sometimes thes...

One more thing to add---- make sure thermostat is not stuck closed--- happens more than you think--- just take it out and hold under hot water and watch---Mike

Sounds like the idle circuit might be gummed up---- with the idle at 750 to 800 rpm,throttle plates closed you should be between 1.5 and 3 turns open no more--- remember closed is lean and open is rich------ sometimes to overcome a vacuum leak you will have to fatten it up to get it to idle---- thos...

It seems you have the pan dry now---- so just fill with the correct amount of oil for that particular pan ,put stick in and note the mark of the oil and drill a small hole or file a slot--- also you could fill the pan one quart short,mark that and then add a quart, mark that, and that would be the f...

Having read what you are saying about the screws , maybe you could thru bolt and backplate only the ones that you can access---- then upsize the screws on the others----- that should stiffen things up I would think---- the comments about 5200 are right on ,but it does bond well.---- Mike

Good to see the end result all worked out ok.---seems like it is the small stuff more often than not----I have changed cranks etc a few times with engines all together,Lot's of fun heh, usually takes about 8 hands and 6 eyes to keep everything ok. ---Mike

To add a bit--- the model I have is chain, rope and it is automatic--- meaning it has a free fall and it locks so that cleating off is not needed, although would probably be wise overnight-- Mike

Bought the kit from-----Good Windlass-----comes with windlass ,all switches etc,anchor rode with chain designed to work together--- also got anchor roller from them--- this stuff was factory installed on these boats --- I just installed the roller and windlass, could not have been easier, real nice ...

2875893 is mopar( chryco) 440 distributor with points--- Mike

If it were me I would compare the new gear with the old with calipers, sometimes just .001" difference in size of crank snout and gear could alter the way they fit together.---- can you put old gear back on and why was it changed???---- as to the clicking ,would have to hear it---- also is that...

Check this, I tried to make it smaller???? does this resemble yours??Mike

Which sprocket is sticking out further?--- in my opinion those gears should mesh even--- make sure the crank sprocket is the same thickness and is seated on the crank correctly--- also check that cam is not being interfered with by the oil drive gears--- those engines just have a distinctive whine l...

It turned out quite nice, certainly better than the peeling cetol and the oil will be easier to deal with,was all held on with ss bolts and wing nuts----thanks--- Mike
