Pantz, (About the tachometer picture.)
You said I'd get the short end of the stick in trading information, but your Tachometer picture just solved a mystery that I had for years. "Where does this board attach?" Mine was just hanging down behind my dash when I bought the boat. I neatly wire tied it to a solid point to make things clean and make sure it didn't cause a short. Now I know, but now I have to FIX IT! More work......oh yeah it's a boat.....Ha Ha
Your wire loom behind the dash looks clean. That is a good thing.
There is a small tag on the side of the distributor, but OMC paints over it, so some of the markings/stamped letters-#'s may be filled in.
I'll send some pics of mine tonight when I get home.
Mine is a Prestolite IDU7806 (B) the best I can tell (numbers are painted in)
It also has MARINE SAE 11171 stamped on it
And it has 986969 stamped on it. (I think this is the OMC part number)
My cap is part number IBM-1008.
I believe yours is a Prestolite due to the screw down cap.
Under that is an electronic pickup sensor (mine is a metal C shape with a little brown sensor in the opening of the C). Prestolite IBD according to the SELOC manual.
Under that electronic sensor is your advance mechanism. Centripetal weights system.
By the way this is just information, don't take this stuff apart unless you have the SELOC manual to investigate. Moving the sensor requires a full setup.
If you want to remove the cap and take a picture that is fine but don't go any further. You will see when I send pics as I have it all apart right now.
Regards,
Offrddrver
