She's got a LM318 when I got her she needed new exaust risers and elbows, the starter was seized so I had to rebuild it, the wiring was a nightmare, I spent alot of time riping out wires that didnt belong and cleaning it up. When I changed the spark plugs lucky me I broke one. I spent an entire day fixing that mess but i managed to get it out without tearing off the head. The mechanical advance on the distriutor required attention. I switched the single lever controlls for dual. I cleaned up the bottom alot and gave her a fresh coat, no water line yet I wanted to be sure of the line first. All in all she got what she needed so I could get her in the water and enjoy her. I got big plans and look foward to seeing her progress into the jem she once was!
