    JMO... anytime ya go .030 or more ya need a very good mech or you need ta be able to read piston top and/or spark plugs.. there is a reason merc doesn't offer anything over .030 pistons (2.0 motors only), everything else steel is .015..... like said, JMO.

    it actually shows up as an '86... if there is no regulator yours is a nine amp... 5454 A7 is what you need.... if its a 5/8 you can run ANY 16 amp stator with or without a regulator... some say that you can't run tha 16 without a reg but with good battery program it won't hurt a thing.. if you...
