I recently purchased a thompson with a omc 175hp and cobra outdrive.I ran into some problems tuning it and when I looked for the i.d. tag,I found it was actually a mercruiser.It is a 1987 175hp. v-6.I have all tune-up info except point gap and dwell.Don't want to buy another manual just to get point settings.Can anyone help me out. My thanks to anyone who can.

sounds like both engines are GM V6.Specs should be the same.<br />DHP

Set the dwell at 30 deg.(about .020-.021)to start on the point gap.
