Re: Alternator wiring help needed
Hi, while this picture doesn't look exactly like yours, the wiring is probably very close. I'd use at least 10 gauge for the B+ wire and 16 gauge for the rest. I seriously doubt if anything goes to the terminals you labeled "C" and "D". Hope this helps!

Re: Some keel issues
Hi, I just saw this post and wondered if you had decided how to repair those areas. I'm in the process of repairing similar damage on my 36' Corvette and was curious what you decided.

Re: Wood Deterioration Near Rudder Post
That is the perfect situation to use epoxy resin (not polyester) to fill and preserve that section of your hull. To do it properly, you should : 1- Remove the rudder assembly, 2- Strip away all the paint in the surrounding area, 3- Treat the bare wood with a penetrating epoxy 4- Fill with thickened ...

Re: KBL , at the end of its life?
Just an FYI.... While valve lash is an important adjustment that needs to be check periodically on some engines, the Chevy-based engines (283/307/327/350) have hydraulic lifters which only need to be adjusted when you remove the heads or change the camshaft. They're not hard to check, but I doubt yo...

Re: KBL , at the end of its life?
First of all, your engine is definitely NOT at "end of Life"! :wink: Based on everything you've done and tried, I'd be willing to bet that you have a blocked exhaust system. All your symptoms point to that. I have a 1969 Chris Craft Corvette, and just had the exact same problem with one of my engine...

Re: The perfect Cruiser for a Car Nut
Thanks for the replies. I just joined the site here, and I already filled out the registry for my boat, so unfortunately for me, the "Luck Bag" is my boat that I posted when I first joined up. I was hoping someone else who had a Corvette would see it and reach out... nothing yet! Also, yes, mine is ...
