Questions & Answers

Is it compatible with a 1967 Mercury Cruiser 2? I'm having trouble finding parts for my 5l 4 cylinder because it's a GM block. ?

It will, in fact. In my 1970 GMC 4 cylinder, I used it. In the worst-case scenario, you may be forced to purchase their coil.

My 85 Larson has a mercruiser m470 170hp 4cyl. Will this conversion kit work for my needs?

It certainly ought to. It's essentially a genetically modified product.

I have a 1978 Starcraft American with a Merc 120 horsepower 4 cylinder omc engine. Will this fit?

Yes, it will work with a four-cylinder engine.

Everything went smoothly
5/5

Our old Mercruiser 470 was brought back to life by swapping points with this one. When we first got the boat, it didn't run. It was a simple plug-and-play installation; however, you must cut a slot in the distributed cap or it will break.

To go with it, you'll need a manual
3/5

The Mercruiser 165 is a boat that has a displacement of 165 horsepower. It didn't work out. Coils and ignition systems, it appears, require more education.

My 1986 Four Winns 3 L Mercruiser would not start this year, and my 26-year-old Four Winns would not start last year
5/5

I ordered The Sierra electronic conversion kit and a Flame Thrower Coil P/N 40011 after messing around with new points and such. 5 ohms. The engine now runs better than it did when it was new after installing these parts and simply bumping the starter. Install it in your boat as soon as possible!.

5/5

On the water, the difference between the boat and the people is amazing. My engine is a four-cylinder with a horsepower of 140. It now sounds like an eight-cylinder engine, according to some people. It was a good investment.

Upgrade to electronic indicating
5/5

The instructions could have been a little more detailed, and they should have mentioned that you must hammer the piece onto the distributor shaft, but overall it's a simple installation that started right up and ran smoothly. I wish I had gotten rid of the points a long time ago. I strongly advise you to do so.
