Tired Interceptor - Block Cracks Everywhere!

I've bought the cap and rotor at NAPA. I brought my old ones into them and they matched them.

let me do some checking. I replaced mine. I remember going thru this as well.

I found the info on the ignition parts. These are #'s on the flaps I saved from the boxes in the 64's notebook..
.
Dizzy Cap ....................Mallory #226B
Rotor ................................ Mallory #320M
Rotor ................................. NAPA#AL104
Points................................ Mallory #25042
Points................................ NAPA #CS2300
Condenser ................... NAPA #MA3
Condenser...................... Mallory#400
Ballast Resistor ...........Mallory #700
Ballast Resistor .......... NAPA #ICR11
Voltage Regulator ... Wells#VR749
Coil........................................ Mallory 29717

I have 2 part numbers for some of the items. Not 100% why on all of them, I'm pretty sure I do remember on the points. I originally ordered the Mallory points online and was unhappy with the quality of them. They reminded me of the cheap blister packed points kmart used to have hanging on their shelves. I went to NAPA and bought the cross reference CS2300.    BTW, I think these are the same as points a Malory dual point dizzy uses.

I can only guess on the other parts, but I know that I had worked on the ignition a couple of times.   Once when I bought the boat and then a couple years later when I replaced the head. When I did the head, I also re-wired most of the boat. I probably replaced some of the ignition parts again at this time.

Hope this info helps!

Nothings worse than walking into an Autozone and getting the kid on the computer! Even worse is asking him for a marine part like a RR starter! We.ve heard a couple of those stories.

Pete, I had to laugh at this... even at NAPA when I asked for the ballast resistor, the young kid had a confused look on his face. (I dont think he even knew what a BR is) Then when its for a 50 year old inboard it's even worse!
One of the old timers stepped up and says "I'll help this one" .

A lot of the time, I'll just ask them for the old paper catalog and tell them to help someone else while I figure out what I think will work.

Thank you gentlemen! That information is a great help and gets me a little further. I am hoping to get this motor completely back together. I am in the process of getting the head squared away. I rebuilt the dizzy- new bearing, bushings and seal. Cleaned lots of corrosion out, luckily flyweights and springs were in great condition.ssistance

Still have the carb to rebuild and the raw water pump hope to get this thing running and broken in on the stand so I can get back to the hull.

Thanks again so much of everyone's assistance especially your excellent foresight in documenting 62 wood!

Hi guys thought you might want to see what you end up with when you literally build your own interceptor. Sorry if these appear sideways. For whatever reason they never arrive in the position i intend.



These were taken just before I ran it and broke it in for the first time. I am very pleased it ran on the first hit and runs amazingly well. I was kind of startled when it fired off. No leaks of any type.

Quick run down because those of you who have one of these will note some differences.
I harvested a block from a "63 Falcon
Rebuilt - new bearings, lifters, pushrods, gaskets. I rebuilt the carb and the fuel pump and dizzy.
The exhaust manifold is a Barr Marine FC-1 I physically looked at in Woodbridge VA at their factory. (wouldn't sell it to me there though) and you wil notice it required slight mods to the routing of the cooling circuit consisting of extending the connection that orginally went into the stock manifold and using wire reinforced cooling lines as you can see.
Finally ran the exhaust out through a 30 degree water cooled riser.
It runs unbelievably well. Sounds awesome and cools well.

Questions comments?

Very nice indeed.

Not much and plenty!!

HA! That is very true, not much and a lot - too funny!!!

Looks great! NAPA 1521 is the short oil filter. I think the engine weighs 350 lbs. I can't remember if that is with or without the trans.

Thanks for all your help and gracious comments throughout. I'm very pleased with the results and that I was able to keep at least in appearance correct to original. I'm with Pete on the Fram filter opinion. Not a very good filter anymore. At one time they were pretty good but when source manufacturers change it's not always necessarily good to the quality of an item. I figured going with the larger filter and the fact it's life span was only going to be 20 minutes of break in it would be ok. Now obviously a much better filter is going on it for use

So ill keep you guys abreast of my progress. I have a pretty solid set of skills and resources, however the imput and advice you all have provided has been invaluable and has cut alot of time out if for nothing else to make myself continually reevaluate and look at solutions to my activities. Thanks so much again!
