I need to know the exact base timing for these rebuilt 11:0 Chevy Mercruiser engines in my 74' Concord boat. Currently they are set at 10° btdc. I removed the Thunderbolt ignitions, and replaced them with DUI mechanical advance marine distributors. Thanks
I recently retrofitted my 74 mercruiser 427 engines with marine GM high energy ignition systems. I completely gutted the Thunderbolt ignitions. The port engine tach reads approx. double the actual rpms. I havent even connected the gray tach wire on either engine so where is this signal coming...
I retrofitted my 427 mercs with GM hei ignitions....port motor still shows approx. double rpm on tach...gray tach wire on hei isnt even connected...where is this seemingly spurious signal coming from ?
