Thanks, Tom. This is an intriguing possibility and so easy to confirm. We take possession of the boat on Saturday. At this point, I figure my first checks will be whether or not I can increase the revs at the carb by bypassing the linkage and whether the leads from the distributor "support" the firing order.
