Are the plug boots supposed to be straight or angled at the plug attachment end?

Is this the correct fuel filter for a 1984 SN2001?

You'll get more responses if you learn how to link. I that's the FRAM canister element you are correct, I think skidim only carries the one. Other brands make the same element that will fit, try searching its been posted here before. Most seem to entirely change it out for the spin on unit like an oil filter, not sure why though.

SNobsessed or anyone, can you provide any more specific info on mid 80's Ford for plug wires? When I go to the NAPA they are pretty clueless and I am no help bc I don't really know what I need. Thanks for the help. |

Also, Advance Auto web site says Autolite #24 is for lawn and garden equipment.

It's been 4 years, so a bit foggy.
I think I told them 1985 F150 351 engine. Take the longest plug wire from your engine with you, to make sure the new one's have 1 wire at least that long. The set I bought was longer than I needed & I had to cut a few back - they have the terminals there also. Edit- try 1980 year, they look longer wires |

Hi guys, I'll jump in here. I also have an 1984 SN with the same EI and the exact same issue. (by the way Autolite 24 is correct). Cleaned and rebuilt the primary side of the carb and replaced the coil, no difference. I read on here that there MAY be an issue with an oil filled coil on it's side having issues (air bubble, arcing, getting hot) and that a ceramic filled coil is the way to go. However lots of people use oil filled with no problems, but I dropped a ceramic coil in yesterday and I will let you know if anything changes.
I have a question as well. I ordered a set of PCM wires at the Nautique dealer. While waiting around I talked to a mechanic there about wires and he old me the wires on the new boats carry a lot of resistance. I happen to have my old 7mm PCM wire with me and it measured 0.6 ohms of resistance. Then we tested the new wire and it had 388 ohms of resistance. I didn't want the new wires, Dealer called PCM, they just said it was the right part number and didn't know anything about the original wires and the resistance. Anyone know about that issue? |

Here is an interesting article from Magnecor about spark plug wires.

Gun-driver, is the Standard AL483 the correct dizzy cap for the Prestolight cap for my 1984 SN2001? From the pictures it looks like it does not have the screw down flanges that mine has. Maybe the pic was a stock photo or something. Thanks for the help
Rockauto site I think I have determined that my dizzy definitely has the screw down Prestolite version and has been updated with Pertronics Electronic Ignition. So if anyone can help me with the part no for this I would appreciate it. I realize I can order this from one of the boat parts suppliers, but was hoping to source it local for future simplicity. |
