The customer purchasing this vessel requested a depth finder, so we installed the matching Faria depth finder display, complete with air and water temperature readings.

The engine for this boat is all assembled now, with new GT40P heads, new Quick Fuel carburetor, new distributor, new spark plugs, new exhaust riser gaskets (and freshly-painted risers, too), new belts, etc. We took it outside and ran it on the hose today to set the timing, and it sounds great! We've got a new flame arrestor with the proper port for the fuel pump vent line on order, and then it'll be time for a lake test. Looking forward to getting it on the water in the next few days, and then it'll be time for a good bilge cleaning, and upholstery installation!

The new Quick Fuel carburetor is here. We'll be installing this in the next day or two, along with new exhaust riser gaskets, etc.

Ran into a slight delay on this one for a couple of reasons. First, the ARP head bolts we ordered were short one washer, so we were waiting on that to be replaced. Also, for some reason the Postal Service returned our valve cover gaskets to the sender without even trying to deliver them! Grrr...

Those things are all here now though, and the heads are mounted, the valve covers are installed, and the exhaust manifolds are installed. We're currently waiting on exhaust riser gaskets, but they'll be here tomorrow. The Quick Fuel carburetor will be here soon too.

GT40P Heads are here!

We're ready to get this thing back together and make it run!
