I have just obtained a 1958 10hp Johnson Seahorse outboard motor, are there any websites / clubs where I can get info on these old engines?
Links would be handy...

I strongly recommend the Johnson/Evinrude board of the iBoats forums for help and advice
http://forums.iboats.com/forumdisplay.php?f=24
The Reader to reader forum here at YBW.com is pretty useful too.
Also the Johnson Evinrude forum at MarineEngine.com http://www.marineengine.com/cgi-bin/discus/discus.cgi
In the meantime it should run on a 20:1 fuel mix. Ordinary unleaded and a 2 stroke outboard oil to TCW3 spec
http://www.evinrude.com/en-US/About.Us/FAQ/Oil.Fuel.htm?
Currently recommended plugs are Champion J6C gapped at 0.030" ( the nearest NGK equivalents are B6S)
Inspect the coils for condition and also clean & set the points (0.020" AFAIK) if there is any suspected problems with the ignition.
If you dont know when last changed or if any overheating is suspected fit a new water pump impeller.
Model number QD 19 ?? Manuals etc available from Ken Cook at http://www.outboardbooks.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=models.main&year=1958&ID=55327 Mayalso be available via MarineEngine.
Good sources of parts in the Uk are www.willsmarine.co.uk and www.outboards-direct.co.uk but I do not know the availability of spares either here or in the US for an engine that old

You could try these articles on duckworksmagazine.com an entire series on old outboards.
http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/07/columns/max/articles.htm
There should be something in there for you. It's also compiled into a book.

I was looking for a float for a 1965 Johnson 3HP, and found www.ribstuff.com/ very helpful.
