John it's not hard to custom make a wire. I think I have the remnants of a brand new set for a straight six GM with HEI ignition. If I remember correctly, you changed your engine over to HEI some time ago. This should do you well. I'll look monday and if I still have it, it goes out in the mail to you.

BTW, I had though of taking my Guzzi 750 engine and mounting it to a jet pump an putting it in a small v aluminum boat I have.

Don't see any reason why that shouldn't work....


It depends on the loading curve of the pump and your engines hp curve.
It's a fun project but consider cooling and weight. Also thin aluminum
is a bitch to work with.

Any old jet-skis/wave-runners sitting around for cheap?
