    You know, i thought about that. There are marks on the drivers side of the plate and a corresponding transom plug indicating there was a second pickup mounted. That might also make for a cleaner install, two less lines from the tstat housing. Thanks!!

    Define water control please. Mine has the hoses coming off the thermostat housing using 1/2 inch lines, seems a bit much. Thanks, Joe

    Perfect info thnks! Im having to pull the front off in hopes of finding a cam number, hoping its not on the back. I bought the motor refreshed from a builder. Thanks Joe

    Thanks!! I have a marine cam question, with the wet headers, is the overlap in a drag car cam going to cause water to be injested? Might post that in a different place... hmmmm. My new 496 is for a car i am building, just thinking about a cam swap.

    I put this in new members first, time to move it here. This 74 Sanger was in a barn 1/2 mile from my house for 21 yrs. New motor is ready but I'm going through every part of the boat first.

    Thnks! I may need advice, it's completely disassembled for inspection. I spoke with Andrew Casale yesterday and he agreed to help me with the v drive. This is a trip!

    When I was 15 I watched Sangers race. I always wanted one. I'm 65. My neighbor and I were discussing our car collections when he mentioned that he had a boat in his barn he wanted to find a home for. So after 50 years, and a half mile from my house, I now own a beautiful 1974 Sanger 18 10...
