CHRIS CRAFT COMMANDER FORUM ® .......A photo-intensive technical reference file and ongoing newsletter regarding the original fiberglass Chris-Craft Commander series. This is an independent not-for-profit and non-commercial web site, not affiliated with the Chris Craft Commander Club ~~ or ~~ Chris-Craft Corporation. Our mission here is to "have fun and share information" about the Commander series (and those associated fiberglass boats on the Chris-Craft family tree) for your individual personal use, and by doing so help promote the good name of Chris-Craft, and help preserve, restore, and appreciate Chris-Craft boats. The main reference feature is the ever expanding MASTER INDEX File which contains what we believe to be the world's largest collection of documentation photos and technical information on the Chris-Craft Commander line of boats, (like these original brochure scans, featuring the iconic first 38 Commander styled by Fred Hudson, and many of the great Dick Avery renditions that followed) , (a huge collection of Chris-Craft 427 tuning and specification information), and a few words about how to use the forum.

We extend to you a cordial "WELCOME ABOARD !" Come on in, make yourself at home, we are a friendly group of enthusiasts, and we also appreciate the classic Chris Craft Roamer, Corsair, and Lancer boats too , as they are all on the same family tree and share much in common !

I just placed an order for two new caps and rotors for the 427 big dogs

Response to Crab / Flat Caps
Since I heed my own advice, and put my money where my mouth is, so to speak, I ordered two new crab caps for the big dogs this season, because I just don't want any problems associated with caps this season. I figure if it was going to happen, I would be out with a boat load of friends, and it would probably cause a near panic aboard if a motor acted up. Therefore the hundred bucks I just spent for two new caps and rotors is well worth it, because if I was out on the water stranded, I would rip a $100 bill out immediately just to be rid of the problem immediately! happy.gif


Mallory 221B cap, with the 319 Rotor, for the Mallory YL 502 distributor that came on the 427 marine motor series. Hope it all fits up nicely, I'll give it a close look regarding gasket and rotor-to-underside-of-cap interference.

Many thanks again for the great info you have shared here,

Since "B-O-A-T" stands for "break out another thousand", I consider myself lucky this time.

Regards,

Paul
