"Hello,I am kinda stuck when it comes to a coil for my 1971 merc.800 serial number 3192882.My good buddy fastjeff sent me a coil from that era,nice big orange coil with mounting bracket to see if my issue with my spark. I took it out to my motor and kinda wanted to see where it goes to test it out.Well I dont know but I cant find any room in that engine compartment to put it.No room where I think its supposed to go.(By the solenoid.)Now I did find this as a cross refernce which is a smaller one and I think fits better.Mercury inline ignition coil kit 332-4895A5.And Jeff if you read this thanks a million.I havent fired her up yet,I have got to redo my external wiring harness.I just noticed all the wiring insulation is old and brittle.Just falls apart.Anyway any thought on this coil.."
