Is there a certain spark plug that has been used to help the 454 engines run better. There are a lot of plugs out there and all say they have the better one. Checking to see if there is a plug that has proven to perform better that all agree on.

I replaced mine about 5 years ago, so it may take a while to find the paperwork on that.
new problem!!!!
starboard motor shifter has to be wiggled, jiggled and bumped to allow me to start the motor. I believe there is a neutral safety switch somewhere that could be the culprit. Any idea where it is and if I can find a replacement for it?
thanks!
Under the console on the shifter. Microswitch.

Are you saying that you can start your engines in gear Pietro??
Get rid of those long time ago :grin:
Just think about all of the wonderful things that could happen by accidentally starting your boat in gear. :smt021 I can just imagine the looks that I would get from the Admiral after I fish out of the water after she loses her balance from the boat lunging forward. If all she got was wet, that wouldn't be too bad, but I am sure that far worse injuries would occur from such a faux pas. It may be OK for some, but it is not my cup of tea. I have enough things to try and remember each day.
I have a 1988 390 EC that I just bought this past November. A couple of weeks ago I noticed water in the storage area where the water holding tank is located. I siphoned the water out (about 5 gallons), I checked 4 days later and siphoned out another 1/4 gallon. I have read through most of this thread and have seen references to pitting problems with the Aluminum tank. Is there any way to verify that the water is coming from the tank and not some other source, like the aft Air condition unit or somewhere else.
Thanks
:huh:
That's what it is alright. Just bypass it temporarily to prove it, then go by another one if nothing proves to be loose and cannot be adjusted to work properly.
