    How about posting the engine’s model number, or posting a picture of the engine. The gearcases were completely different from 1976 to 1978, so you will want to get the proper manual…
    Give us more of a description of the shifting issues you are having. Perhaps you just have a cable or control box issue, have you tried shifting into forward by hand with the cables removed?
