Thunderbolt Ignition Module

[FreeBeeTony]

I think I may have found something!!!!<br /><br />Check out this other thread .<br /><br />The module installed in my boat is a V824S.<br /><br />According to this other thread, the 24S is for a big block.........is the V822 or V824 the right one?

Re: Thunderbolt Ignition Module

Tony,....<br />That module is used on 4 different SBCs,+ 1 BBC......<br />Your motor IS 1 of the 4 SBCs......<br /><br />They're All somewhat Interchangable......<br /><br />Sometimes,... a V614 is used on Blown Big Blocks when very little advance is needed.........<br /><br />Although they're All different in the advance curve they produce,.....<br />Any 1 of them will power your motor.......<br /><br />I just sent you a scan of the module listings from Dennis Moore's book on Merc./SBCs........<br />I used the same email addy I have from before.......... <br /><br />Good Luck....

Re: Thunderbolt Ignition Module

Thanks for the email..........<br /><br />So, I'm still no where.<br /><br />Went out today with four adults onboard including myself. Trim tabs not working properly, had a hard time planing off with people in back because I can't push past 3200RPM's. If it was an exhaust leak I don't think it would be at the same RPM all the time.<br /><br />This has really got me stupmed now if it's not the ignition module.<br /><br />Bondo, If it were you, which module would you try knowing it's a 4000lb grady with a 1.5:1 outdrive and a 15" prop.<br /><br />The more I listened to it today it almost sounded like a pinging now..........maybe it's just my imagination because I was hoping this was it.<br /><br />When the problem occurs I have to back off to ~2800 then I can bring it back to 3200.<br /><br />I need help!!!
