I realize that this one is built by Merc. but there must be some cross referance for spark plug wires and the such. Any help?

Easy way is to hit your local NAPA and ask for parts and specify that they are for a marine application. Most filters are the same for both. NAPA can distinguish what is available.<br /><br />Bob

is this a v-6 or v-8, ford has distributer in the front, GM has in the back, v-6, gm is probably the 4.6 liter, v-8 gm it's the 305 ci, v-8 ford its the 302 ci, I don't know what v-6 fords were used in marine. just make sure they are narine grade, wires, starters, alternators, etc<br /><br />Andy

I am guessing that you are talking about the 4 cylinder Mercruiser 190. The block is 1/2 of a Ford 460 but the engine was designed and built be Mercury.<br /><br />Follwing are some part numbers that may hep you, these are Sierra numbers that can be found or crossed at a NAPA store. These are for the 4 cyl.<br /><br />Dist cap 18-5385<br />Rotor 18-5418<br />Condenser 18-5345<br />Points 18-5311<br />Plug wires 18-8808<br />Oil filter 18-7824<br /><br />NAPA used to have a marine catalog, their marine engine parts are made by Sierra.
