"hi,
i have a 79' century with merc 260 (350cu.). it has a 2 bbl. rochester carb. the dist. is the old mallory yl. type w/ points. i'm about to buy the conversion kit. (pentronix). i also need a dist. cap. i looked on ebay and found a electronic dist. complete. it is advertised a mercruiser electronic dist. for merc. 350. i can see a label on it. it says (sae j1171 marine). that's all i know about it. i can get it for about a hundred bucks, which is cheaper that the conv. kit. my question is, if i go with this will my coil work, or will it need changing. and is some type of ignition module needed to use with this new distributor.
my current dist. ain't in bad shape. other than the fact that it's points, and needs a new cap. but it's old, and i feel it's outdated. what are your thoughts??"
