Also if you know of anything e

Also if you know of anything else that is a good idea to do to this motor???

"Bill, I converted my AQ130C t

"Bill, I converted my AQ130C to a Pertonix electronic ignition last year and I am very pleased with the results...smoother idle, solid timing, and just overall better performance.

Sorry, I can't tell you exactly which part number will work in your boat but if you call Pertonix (1-800-827-3758) with your distributor part number they can tell you if they have a model that will work for it. Also, here is a link to their marine application guide:

Here are a couple links to previous discussions about Pertronix electronic ignition conversions:

I'm sure El will be able to provide you some more good feedback. Sorry, El I don't mean to upstage you by posting here before you get the chance! "

"No problem, Bob, the more you

"No problem, Bob, the more you and others answer questions, the less work for me.

Bill, as you probably have seen in the above links supplied by Bob, the Pertronix kit you need is #2842. Just make sure that the number in the casting of your distributor is 231178017 or 231178016. I'm sure you will like the results of the conversion.

I have also heard positive comments about the Flame Thrower coils made by Pertronix (40000 V). To date I have not tested them in one of my engines, but I intend to install one I have this coming season on my 350 and see how it goes."
