    Four exhaust outlets down to two?

    1980 Silverton 34C with Chrysler 360s on V-drives. Silverton built these boats with four exhaust outlets through the transom: one for each bank of cylinders on each engine. Each one has a muffler and the hose size on each of 3-inch ID. What are the consequences of blocking off the inside two...

    Changing the heads - a report

    Hey, if Jeff can do a report, so can I! Problem: Starboard Chrysler 360 has a couple of low pressure cylinders. #5 is at 95 lbs. The boat is a 1980 Silverton 34C. Time to take the heads off and see what's happening. Location: An ice cold shed in Connecticut. Maybe that's not cold to others but...

    Tired 380 - a gasket question

    When I remount the intake manifold, what type of sealant do I use? The old engine manual says a 1/4" drop of "Rubber Sealer." That's between the side gaskets and the front and rear gaskets on the intake manifold. I've used Permatex Red on GM engines and that worked okay. Can I use that here or...

    Tired 360

    My starboard Chrysler 360 is showing its age. It still runs, but the compression readings are all over the place: 50 lbs on one cylinder, several at 100 lbs, and a couple at 120 lbs. The good news is no water intrusion, blow-by or oil usage so I figure a rebuild of the heads is next. Rebuild...

    Mallory YLM distributors on Chrysler 360s

    I have one year-old Mallory YLM series distributors on my engines. Both start and run fine and both are wired identically. Since these distributors were installed, I have had recurring coil failures on the starboard engine after running long enough to get the engines up to operating temperature...

    Edelbrock 1409 question

    Sorry to go back over old stuff. I bought a pair of 1409s to replace the Quadrajets on my Chrysler 360s. I know I'm supposed to drill out that blocked port between the idle jets using a 5/16" drill and then tap it for the PVC fitting. Got that. But when I look at the underside of the carb, it...

    Remote mounted oil filters

    Getting a little tired on unscrewing the block-mounted oil filters on my Chrysler 360s and having at least some of the oil drool out into an aluminum roasting pan covered with diapers under the engines. My bilge still has some old oil in it from 30 years of someone changing the oil this way...

    Chysler 360 Ignition Control Unit

    Using the wiring diagram that Jeff posted below, I wonder that the "Control Unit" is for? The diagram isn't really clear as to its function as far as I can see except that it seems to be connected to the (-) side of the coil and to both sides (start voltage and run voltage) of the ballast...

    Remote oil filters

    The 360 Chryslers in my 34C Silverton have oil filters located right up against the stringers where they are really hard to remove without making a oily mess. I'd like to remote mount the filters. On my last boat (Chev 350s) I needed an adapter that screwed in in place of the filter. The...

    Is there a tool for this?

    Need to remove a failed oil pressure sending unit on my starboard Chrysler 360. I confirmed it was bad by wiring the starboard gauge to the port engine sender. The sender is located at the back of the engine, down low between the distributor and the panel that makes the starter and battery...
