Try an auto junkyard for Hudsons and Ramblers (on-line). People specialize in all kinds of cars.

Thanks. Got the old girl running good. Ill try to upload video of running. Had carb checked and adjusted, and running good. I may have under estimated this 327 after all. It may be old but runs solid now. Thanks to all.. This forum helped alot..

Re: MY 1966 26 ft 327 fireball
Update.. Still looking for oil dipstick tube..Checking with sites and yards. No luck so far.. Also getting trim tabs , 24 x 9 or 24 x 12. I leaning more towards electric. Bennetts probably. The 24 x 12 are actually cheaper. Never had a boat with tabs so new to them. Also some say go with hydraulic instead of electric. ??????? My boat has welded tabs now. Look to be factory ( still looking into that ). Also ( might be dumb question but ) I noticed when idling down river , boat runs straight , but when Im running with any amount of speed she pulls to port. When i say to port , the wheel turns pretty hard to port.. Always had outboards and never had this happen. Dose something need aligned or is this typical for singles?

Re: MY 1966 26 ft 327 fireball
Is your engine flywheel forward or flywheel aft? Do you need the stick, tube or both?

Re: MY 1966 26 ft 327 fireball
Singles will pull to one side because of propeller walk but not so hard you have to fight the wheel. So one question is whether your rudder is set correctlyHyperjump wrote:Update..

Re: MY 1966 26 ft 327 fireball
Flywheel is forward. I just need the tube , but would get both if possible. Update on pulling to port. Rudder bushing worn. Changing bushing and packing since im in there. Hopefully that was it. Thanks.
