OK, so the parts list DOES NOT include a new silo, only has provsions for the silo to have the exhaust and/or water modified. This synchs with the pieces I have seen.
Sounds more like Norris's box o'stuff is not only enough to convert a Twister to a T-1, much more than a conversion kit, enough to build an entire T-1 powerhead. That's why there are so many unexpected parts.

Extra parts .....
I sure don't know why your 'kit' contains so many extra parts, possibly a shipping error? Maybe at the time these kits were being put together, someone placed an order for parts to rebuild a damaged Twister. If the boxes got mixed up at Mercury, the Idaho guy that ordered a kit could have received all the extra stuff while the guy that ordered the extra stuff only received a kit? Who knows, stranger things have happened.

Looks like a 67 fastback. My first new car was a 67 notchback, Acapulco Blue. Loved that car. I wrecked it and it was repaired but never drove right after.

Mark, GREAT picture!! Looks like Spencer (S-73) got a pretty good start location right beside the main factory boats. If I remember correctly Spencer had a decent finish in '72 (?).

It was amazing to watch Mercury assembly guys do it on the in line 6's - if I remember right they had two guys loading crank assemblies with ring compressors, and one guy would pick up the assembly and literally drop it into the well oiled cylinder block - probably to the tune of 8-10 an hour! They seldom broke a ring!

I only used a set of Mercury ring compressors once. Managed to borrow a set to assemble one of my 44in motors. I seem to remember they were angled specifically for the number of cylinders. Since it was not convenient to borrow them when ever I needed them and since I was to cheap(and usually broke) to buy them, I came up with a different solution. I taped the inside surfaces of big stainless worm drive hose clamps and compressed all the rings. Then I slid all the pistons part way in and took the clamps off the rods by unscrewing them all the way. Never broke a ring or scratched a piston using this method.
