Re: Volvo Penta AQ270 noise when turning
I had my carb rebuilt three or four seasons ago ($600). I just changed my distributor from the Mallory marine with a stock Ford unit that seems to work fine. $180 for the Mallory, $45 for the Autozone brand. In hind sight, breakerless would be better, but I didn't know how much this other stuff was going to set me back.

I was told that in the era of these boats there was a bunch of oddball things done.
Also, the engine has a Mallory distributor. I replaced it with a new one that is breakerless.
I am going to rebuild the carburetor and there is a posting that has some good tips.
