    Installing Exhaust ?

    Yes, you want the three-hole gasket with the tab oriented up for the manifold to riser connection. This drawing shows it in the upper left, #2.

    Mounting Rochester 4 Barrel from Fuel Injection

    I have 1977 Crusader CH270 (350 ci) engines, and they are mounted on an angle so that they are in-line with their prop shafts (I'm just trying to say that they are straight inboard, no v-drive). I believe because of the angle, Crusader included a wedge between the intake manifolds and the...

    Looks like it is a 72C.

    Electronic advance

    I replaced my old 1977 Crusader 270 distributors with the Delco EST type. I'm assuming you have the OEM version of this. I went through the distributor not advancing with a couple aftermarket modules. In addition to not advancing, the aftermarket modules didn't react to 12v being applied...

    5.0 OMC 4-barrel cuts out under load

    Welcome. A couple things first. You really should have started a new thread specific to your issue. And second, I'm not a mechanic, I'm just another boat owner who prefers to do his own maintenance whenever possible. You replaced your distributor. What distributor did you install? I'm...

    Stacking fwc crusader exhaust gaskets

    This assumes you have one of the styles of exhaust hardware like those in the attached picture. The single hole gasket goes in the joint between the riser's outlet and the elbow's inlet. In other words, it goes at the highest point of the exhaust system. The idea is to fill the riser with raw...

    Cold oil filter, Crusader 270

    Here's the oil filter mount without the bypass valve installed. This is on a 1977 Crusader 270. I included the oil pump mount so that you can see its location in relation to the filter mount.

    Cold oil filter, Crusader 270

    I have Crusader 270s also, but I don't have the remote filter. The photo below shows where the filter attaches to the threaded nipple in the center. (The photo is looking from the bottom of the engine up at block). That nipple is part of the cast aluminum by-pass valve assembly that's held...

    EST distributor problem?.. no timing advance or shift assist

    I have EST distributors on my Crusader 350 c.i. V-8 engines purchased several years apart. Like you, the module one distributor came with didn't go into service mode so I replaced it with another - a no-name from eBay. It was no better. It had something like 6 degrees advance up to 1800 RPM...

    1999 Crusader 7.4 MPI timing marks

    Jon, I do not have an answer to your question. I'm sure someone who does will reply. On my 1977 vintage small block Chevy Crusaders, there is a secondary mark for timing the engines. It is a rectangular opening on the flywheel cover (bell housing) that allows you to see the top of the...

    How cold is TOO cold for a raw water cooled 5.7?

    One more area to consider. I had steam from the exhaust last year on my port engine. It had OK flow, but seemed a little less than the starboard engine. A couple weeks ago, I was de-winterizing by reinstalling the impellers in the Sherwood raw water pumps. I noticed the cam in the port pump...

    Questioning the age on my engines / serial numbers

    This won't be conclusive evidence of having the original blocks, but there should be a casting date on the block. It will be a 3 or 4 character code. The first character is a letter that represents the month (A=Jan, B=Feb, etc), followed by one or two digits for the day in the month, and then...
