Just wondering if anyone knows a place or website that may have discontinued parts for our engines? Looking for a new VST system or parts? I believe they call it a vapor separator?

Is your 5.0's carb'd or FI? Ford or GM?

I'm running twin 5.0 FI Fords. We are able to get the gasket and floats so far just wondering if there were any complete sets out there. What are all the parts that I will need to redo?

We went out and the boat runs great. No wind water was flat. I took a sharp turn to the right and came to a stop. When I looked back I noticed white smoke coming out from underneath the swim deck. We headed back to the marina called our mechanic and he meet us out at the lake and we went back out onto the water. He proceeded to check the fuel pressure w a gauge, looked over both engines thoroughly ran the boat a few more times and when we stopped the boat the same thing puffs of white smoke. He concluded that the VST was getting to much gas and from the boat going to plan then stop had extra gas and would burn off. When I first purchased the boat we were having fuel pump issues. I went ahead and replaced all the pumps and we cleaned and looked over the VST. I should of replaced the parts then but decided to wait and here we are today.

Took the boat out this week ran some gas through it and no more smoke?! Boat ran great! The parts came in just going to hang on to them for the future if and when needed. Can't see taking things apart if all is well for now. Thank you.
