The Oliver J-2 was made in 1956. There are quite a few differences over the Chris Crafts, however I believe most of the internals are the same. There is a lot of information over on the Oliver Website http://www.pfs-ware.com/oliver.htm and a note to Dick (Ask Ollie) will probably give you chapter-and-verse what you can swap and not.
I think Dick sold off most of his parts inventory and there’s another site offering them. Possibly they have the fuel connector too. There was a discussion on this board regarding possibly using an air-chuck connector several months back that you can check out: http://aomci.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4237&p=22022&hilit=oliver+connector#p22022
Nice motors, well worth the time to get back together right!
