Hey guys. I have a 28 ft 1970s SlickCraft with a GM engine (don't ask
which kind. I or everyone I talk to can't figure that out). What

These are just too small. The distributor is a Prestolite.

Post some larger pictures, and tell us what makes you think it is a GM
engine.

Give all casting numbers or part numbers you can see.

Are the rocker covers 4 bolt or 6?

A side view of the cylinder heads would help, as well as a front-on view
of the timing cover.

Looks to me like a small block chevy reversed. Seeing your heads are
driled for bracketing on either end, it sems like the water pump is
running off of where the flywheel "ought" to be" deffinately doesn't
look like a typical chevy water pump, but some wierd thing on a wierd
casting instead of mount.

just a guess
