I just installed a replacement engine in a boat purchased from dear old craigslist. It is a 1993 Seaswirl 190SE with a 4.3L OMC. I got the engine installed and have a non functional fuel pump who's electrical circuit is working and I verified the pump as bad by jumping the pump to pos and ground. The second issue I am having is no spark. The coil is receiving 12v to the pos and has a black wire from the dist and a grey/black wire to the shift interuptrer hooked to the -side it. There is a purple wire from the distributor and a purple wire from the shift interupt. The module inside the distributor has a bad electrical burn smell from it, its a prestolite dist. Is there any method of checking this module so I but the right part the first time.
