. Hi, there was a foam gasket, also put some rtv silicone around the edges.  Your rig looks good!

Got my electrical hooked up today and was disappointed when it didn't turn over. I couldn't find a vintage ignition with the same lettering on the wiring connectors, so I'll get to play with it till I figure it out. If it's not one thing it's another!

Looks good though!

Any electrical boat ignition members in the Sacramento area?

My Johnson 28SPL is kicking my ####!

Cash or trade gear, I'm good with either.

Hey Steve, what's the problem?   Is it the ignition switch?

The old ignition didn't have a key, so I bought a new one, installed it wire to letter as on the original and, nothing.

Hotwire the starter with a manual switch and see if that works pls

Thanks Gogi, but I am so done with this right now, it can wait till Sunday. But that was my next plan. I know it's not the battery!

I have to prep my 1967 Dodge Dart GT for the Capitol City Mopar Car Show on Saturday. I feel a trophy or plaque in my future. Fingers Crossed!
