I have a '51 Chrysler Marine 265 cu.in. 6 cyl. in rebuild. It is model M47S, with two Zenith carbs. I'm going to change to electronic ignition, and my machinist thinks I should consider a new coil, plugs, carb jets, and shaving a bit off the head... Sounds like fun, but I don't know where to turn to find someone with experience in this area. Can anyone here give me an opinion on making these mods? The engine was rated at 135 HP, and more power is always better, in my mind...
Thanks for your time, Grant in VT
