I will start by saying that my motor skills are elementary level however I have read/researched this topic to gain as much knowledge as possible.
Boat has Prestolite E5JL-12100 OA distributor running on points system that I would like to change to electronic system after an electrical problem that has left me dead in the water. Options are converting over with a kit or installing a new distributor. IF I decide on new distributor, I cannot find the correct one for my application. I have read forums that say simply changing the gear is not correct because the force is change from “up force” to “down force” and will stain the gears operation. Has anyone converted this Prestolite reverse distributor to a PROPER fitting new distributor currently on the market?
