Here are the options. My guess would be "B" style

The big issue with the trim is it shipping. It usually has to go semi truck. Get a shipping cost before you order.

drrot

try the Mariners Museum.

Dis-Connect the tachometer cable from under the distributor and see if it goes away.

They could be too large. Try resizing them.

Personally I'd go with an M series Chris-Craft. Most had K series and they seem under powered to me.

drrot

Add it under the profile tab. Edit Avatar. It has to be really small. 100X100 pixels or smaller

drrot

mine don't have lift rings

I'd lift it but only a foot or so.

drrot

Something like this?

KLC, KBL, and KFL are basically the same with different carburetors
Your boat probably started life with a smaller engine and at some point in time it was given a boost.

here's a place to take it

Plate on top of the transmission says it is Engine #H10573
Different stamped markings on the engine block : A600. 11-12-56. 75001. 75039
Stamped tag on the carburetor shows 12055B

H10573 makes it a 1957
12055 carb is from a Chris-Craft KFL

Pat Crusse makes a bolt on kit. I have used Delco-Remy 10SI one wire marine alternators. They take a lot of machining to get them to fit including modifying the front motor mount. Might be worth checking in to adding a pulley to the front of the flywheel.

From the NAPA book. IC7 is the 6 volt version at NAPA

All the manuals I have give a gap of .022" No conversion to dwell. Possibly too new of a measurement.
I'd replace the coil to distributor wire, or bypass it with a jumper lead. See if it helps.
Remember after setting points you have to set the timing again

drrot

Sure points to a coil.

Here are three K series elbows together.
To port on the left is for exhaust pipes with a single bend.
To chine in the middle is for three bend exhaust pipes.
Between stringers on the right is for utilities.

It's normal. There is a small jet on the suction line in the tank. You are sucking air through the jet.

My opinion is if you are going to boat local stay with gas. If you are going to boat long distance go with diesel. Staying with the 430 vs say 454s? I'd have the 430s opened up and get a quote first.

drrot

Ditto. It worked for 80 years the original way.

I would vent as original using hole in cap. Just be sure hole has not been obstructed with debris or plating.

Measurement is 1 19/32"

Here are some photos of one.

Jim,
Were you lost? Are you sure you were under the correct boat? 6005 is for a 17' Sportsman and several Cavaliers.

Pre-War would be a smaller number.
I probably have a 6005 if you want to try it.

Clum keys 001a.jpg

tried to add this to the previous post

drrot

A lot of them. Not all. They were originally sold pre-cut. I have the blanks too but trying to see if I have an original. ALL of them are obsolete.

drrot

See the small number by the key slot? What is yours?

drrot

CONGRATULATIONS!! Wish I had known, was in Eagle River yesterday morning. Could have stopped by.

drrot

If it has not been varnished over try a hair dryer on low heat.

drrot

Click on my name, then click send email and send them direct.

Post a photo of the wedge plate. both sides if different.
