Hello chris and welcome to Iboats. How have you determined that you have no spark. You can ground the tips of the spark plugs with the wires connected and test for spark or you can use a bolt in the plug and try and jump the spark about a 1/4 inch to the metal. Best to test in a dark area.

Eurolarva, I actually held the sparkplug in my hand while somebody cranked the motor over.Someone told me it might be the cdi box if that is what it called.But there is no place in this province that deals with chrysler motor anymore.Please send anymore advice.

We are a little short on the electrical advice on chryslers in this forum. Try the marine doctor HERE . Electronic parts are scarce at best for that motor. Keep an eye on ebay.
