Getting ready to install the Merc intake and Rochester 2gc with new electric choke. Wish me luck.

Check the yoke on the rear end for galling in the cup seats. Every thing can be tight but it will vibrate under load. I had the same vibration problem. A new yoke fixed it.

For your info, there is room in the tail shaft housing for 2 bearings. Really helps prolong yoke life.

You will most likely want to install a short throw shift adapter eventually. They really make shifting a pleasure. You can buy them but it is quite easy to make one.
