I have an old Mercury 75, 7.5 horse power ,and I need to replace the points. Does anyone know the point gap on this motor? Also, does anyone know if there is a database to get the manufacture date by serial number?
Thanks in advance.

I am interested to know this as well. Do you have the Thunderbolt ignition?
In my evinrude manual they show something like that, but it also says you can just gap the points and leave them.
Yes, it does have the ThunderBolt ignition. My manual also says you can gap them and use it that way UNTIL you can sync the points with the phasing tool. I'm thinking I may make my own. I just need to get my hands on a drill press to ensure the holes I drill are straight and line up with each other.
