Hi, I am returning to racing, this time with six grandkids. The equipment is certainly different in the A/B classes.

I Just took delivery of a new Mercury J/A motor with the new conversion equipment on it and a George Stillwill blueprint job.

Do most of the racers use the kill switch on the motor or do they connect remote switches installed near the crash throttle?

Who is the contact(s) and person(s) who blueprints and shapes the racing gearbox foot? What is the fair price for this service?

Does the APBA sell the AX restrictor plates? The J restrictor is installed now.

Is there an attached thrust bracket assembly similar to the OMCs available for the Mercury? Is this supplied by Brown Machine?

What is a good trim starting point for tuck angle on an Austin copy runabout?

From your experience, how long does it take for a new motor to finally seal the rings and come to full power?

Thanks for your help to these questions and any other advice you can give to a returning newby.
