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.

My Marine Wrap is now complete

I JUST did this upgrade two days ago! Among the smartest upgrades I have done:smt038. The point ignition was really becoming a severe PITA! The parts for Marine applications (condenser, points cap, rotor, etc.) were getting harder to find too. Go for it... you will not regret it. Especially...

Finished vinyl work (Oracal Marine Wrap)

Yes, as I my plan is to open up my exhaust and run it directly out the back of my transom.

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.

I just wanted to repost about how great the service and price was at Mikes Alpha's. :smt038 What a wonderful resource this is especially if you have an older Merc (pre-alpha etc.) I was able to get a fully restored Gimbal assembly and housing for $750 SHIPPED! The entire setup looks...

Oh sure, forward away. Repairs are actually easier than that, I am now the benefactor of experience. As I was pulling out of my slip at the Marina the other day my engine quit while I was pulling out and before I could restart the quick current drifted my boat into the raised prop of a...

Expensive option though $1000+ :wow: in many cases. Any good used canvas options out there? I said- "good used canvas", not some weeping leaking faded scratched glass junk. Probably not likely but I guess it can't hurt to ask since I am looking for my '79 sundancer too. :grin:

I have an SEI (Sterndrive Enginering Inc):smt038... very happy.

This was great advice and Mike is an even greater guy. Thank You.
