May the true meaning of Christmas be with you all year long. Remember those in need and keep them in your prayers. God bless all of you on this Holy night.

frank
davie,

dave,
from what i've been told he did not run very much. anyone ever see the rig run in fla races before matt bought it?
now to find the correct stacks.
frank
dave,
it looks like the stacks are different than the ones pictured in your posting. i've got a call in to davie augustine to see if he gave me the right stacks. thanks for the picture. how did...
mark, gary, sam, and others,
i have the pipes that go with the engine. i'll do a 'upon further review' and see if that bar attaches to the other stack somewhere.
gary... i would like to get...
john,
going out this morning.
frank
sam,
i'll look thru some other things i got with this setup to see if i can see anything that might fit. there is a long piece on the one pipe but i can't see anywhere it would fit. i would like...

hi all,

danny,
thanks for the info. question though..... why change back to merc pictons, the turners on there are cleaning up real nice. the rings freed up after 2 days of soaking. didn't have to cook...
chris,
thanks for getting back to me. i know what you mean about larry and castor buildup. i have 5 of larry's quincy z engines and castor buildup is pretty thick on them. it does clean up with...
sam,
you are sooo right about the castor stuck. this one had it big time. a good parts cleaner did free it up in about 2 days of soaking.
frank
hi all,
here are some pictures of the filler black, wow nice job on that one, and the exhaust ports. i will try to get a better picture of the ports tomorrow, the camera died. i'l also posy on...
danny,
i'll take a look tomorrow. i did see the bore size stamped on the top. nothing really jumped out at me, but i'll take a closer look. did any of the guys you mention win the nationals at...
danny,
any idea whose engine it might have been? did the mod work?
frank
sam,
this was from a merc c service block, not a looper. could it be to increcse air volumn and thus increase pressure?
frank
bill,
i left a message for dudly to call me about the modification.
dave augustine seems to think that the nations were in bakersfield in 1984. does anyone have the c service results for the...

paul,
happy birthday my friend. hope you are having a fun day. any day you talk about loopers is a fun day. hope you have many more.
frank
hi all,
had to share this with you. i made contact with a gentleman who raced loopers back in the day. as we chatted i found out that the only part of the looper he had left was the grant tower....
jeff,
you're right i was wearing my marchetti t-shirt, you've been watching too many csi or ncis shows. i can't wait now to get the boat ready. the next looper to get a makeover is fc51.
...
forgot the before shot.
frank

gene and all,
fc51 is under the wrench! just like a box of cracker jacks i won't know what is inside until i get it apart. i did notice a few things so far, the fuel system has a collector box...

i think it's still there. look at the outboard history section and i saw it at the bottom on the first page of threads.
frank
thanks for the leads. the condensor mounting piece is 90 degrees from the one i have on the a looper i have. i'll pick up a set to see if they are the right ones.
in one of the other posts here...
charlie,
we're showing our age. mr peabody and sheman were great. will i need them for the points, condensor and coils for the looper?
frank
gene,
bruce's looper is going to go under the wrench soon. put on your thinking cap, what kind of points and coils were used on the quincy ignition? may have to go to the wayback machine........
hi gene,
how many times have we found 'treasures' that others didn't want and considered junk. my first 'treausre' was a complete kf9 merc someone didn't want because it looked funny.
great...
