I found the right place

To answer some questions...
I ordered the manual as you suggested, it should arrive in a few days.
Before it was stowed for winter:
I may have put 2 hours total on the engine to get me in and out of the harbor , it started first time every time. The A4 runs nicely at about 3/4 throttle, I was advised not to exceed this point or be prepared to wipe up oil spray, therefore I heeded this caution.
I ran anti freeze through the engine in fall.
The previous owner has given me the following information as well:
2013 - installed rebuilt carburetor, points, plugs, coil, (possibly wires, not sure).
2014 - oil change, grease plug twice. He inspected the impeller which was in good shape but suggests it may be time.

I'll be looking for direction on how to run an A4 on the hard so if you can point me in the right direction for connecting hoses to a 1974 Catalina 27.
I'll be visiting the A4 this weekend if the weather is cooperative so I'll give you more answers on Monday. The launch is scheduled for May 2nd.
I am so happy to meet you all, it gives me great relief to be in your company.
