" Croozertoo, thanks for the hard-start info. You saved me from changing a bunch of stuff that won't solve the problem. New question, The risers and manifolds have been changed to the "log" style but the original C.C.thermostat housing remains. Where is the proper place for the stat? up top under the little four bolt cover? or down in the intake manifold where it would be if in my old Impala? Next, Any hints for working on the front of the motor? Changing the circulating pump, etc.
I changed the impeller in the sea water pump last year and found I needed to be double-jointed to get at it. Can't imagine how to get to the circulator! Also impossible to see the timing marks on this motor. I time it by ear and tachometer with a second person at the helm while I adjust the distributor. Other than that I think the Catalina is a great old boat. Plenty of head room in the cabin and under the hardtop. I plan on keeping her till I croak.
Thanks "
