Does anyone know what replacement distributor will work? Old one was trash. I have a 1994 VIP Valiant with a 1990 Yamaha sterndrive. The motor does not have a computer and every delco distributor with my connections tell me it's computer controlled. The motor has the good ole Rochester quadrajet carb. The only thing that actually wires into my distributor is the shift interrupt and the coil.

I would run a mallory or a Delco Voyager or a DUI marine unit.

they are all self-contained.

if you watch the on-line sales, you can get the Delco with plugs, wires, etc. all for a good price

Would you happen to know which Mallory would work?

Thank you! I found one like it. Really wish MSD made them. They were baffled when I told them what I needed. They said anything with the module it has was for a computer controlled EFI motor.
