Re: Johnson a-25 carb gaskets and ign wires

[bob-d]

Jason, I use a company called R.J.&L. AUTOMOTIVE FASTENERS for the black cloth 9mm plug wire, that is period correct for the old Johnsons and Evinrudes, their model number is W-107. For the plug ends they have a brass forked terminal (P113) that looks great with the old plugs. Go online and Google them.
As far as carb and intake gaskets, measure the thickness with a micrometer (if available) or just bring the old gasket down to an Autozone etc… and try to match up the thickness. For the exhaust gaskets, you will need a thicker type gasket. For that one, I would try Summit Racing Equipment which has a large assortment of sheet gasket materials from Mr. Gasket and Fel-Pro.
Good luck, and let us know how your father and son project turns out.
