Thanks, Yes it is a Marine Wrap and it still gets regular onlookers:wow: upclose and asking. Most think it is a gel coat until I explain what a Marine Wrap is. The cleat on the pulpit came on the boat when I purchased it and it is plywood underside.

Don't worry about what type of distributor you currently have... order the new parts that match the engine and not the engines old parts.:grin:

I did this last year and have not regretted this upgrade yet:smt038. Unfortunately, I did not oder it online so I do not have a link to the part numbers, however, as far as I can recall it did not involve replacing the shaft but I do remember replacing cap, coil, etc. It did not take very long...

I did the * Electronic Ignition Conversion, ALL Mallory V8 Distributors, ML-181 * Magnetic Electronic Distributor * Better Coil Got everything here locally and paid about the same as the G02Marine price after you add shipping costs. It was not a terribly expensive upgrade.

Finished vinyl work (Oracal Marine Wrap)

That is exactly the information I was looking for, THANK YOU!:smt038 It's time for me to start saving a bit of fuel and I would not mind taking a 15% power bump while I am at it... if you know what I mean.

Anybody out there have leads on where I can pick-up a good deal on a center dump exhaust manifold for my Chevy 350 small block?

had it done here at by a local sign shop (Signs and Display Designs 503-654-7670). It only set me back about $800 installed and has a 7 year warrenty against fading. I am REALLY HAPPY with it. I was looking into paint when I learned about this Marine Wrap (Orcal) thing. Paint was nearly 10...

:thumbsup:Vinyl Rocks! I did a Marine Wrap from the waterline up and ditched the stripes Taking the old stripes off was a HUGE PITA though.
