Mercury Outboard 4-Cyl Distributor Ignition System - Complete & Sparking Strong!, image 1
“Used. Complete ignition system off late 1970's 80 HP 4-cyl. Throws big hot spark and wiring good.”
Brand:Mercury Manufacturer Part Number:393-3736A3 Country//Region of Manufacture:United States Country/Region of Manufacture:United States

I am showing stock pic of pickup unit for reference; you get a WORKING pickup and distributor body with FOUR cylinder trigger wheel installed plus all the other parts listed for complete working ignition system. Note price of new pickup alone is over $300; this one's good used, assembled, and ready to bolt up! If you have 6-cyl Tower of Power you will need to swap in your old trigger disk and the cap. Part number shown in Item Specifics is just one of the several interchanges; number was superceded several times.

Genuine OEM Mercury parts pulled from a late 1970's Mercury 4-cyl 80 HP with distributor ignition. Same system will fit 1970 thru '79 4-cyl and 6-cyl Mercury outboards 65 HP and up; it won't fit a 50 HP and check with your mechanic to see if you can use it on a 3-banger.  Note distributor cap attaches with stainless-steel clamp band; distributors '69 and down had caps that screwed to the distributor housing. If you have that system, check w/ your mechanic or reliable data source for interchange. The coil and powerpack would be the same, though. Motor has bad primary compression in bottom cylinder so it's being parted; the ignition components are in above-average condition for used parts of this vintage. It throws a hot spark and the wiring leads have good intact insulation that isn't brittle which is rare for an older Merc. You'd pay almost this much for a PICKUP UNIT for these motors; check around the board. You probably will need replacement spark plug leads but I'll include the ones I have; they're delivering voltage to the plugs. Check my FB and bid with confidence. Please Ask-a-Question if you have any, well, questions about this item; I'm here to help you get your vintage outboard up&running for cheap dough. Thanks for looking.

Dinner with Bob Lutz: Looking back at nearly 50 years in the car business

Tue, 27 Apr 2010

Bob Lutz is retiring--again. He has tried this twice before: at Chrysler in 1998 and with his abortive exit from General Motors last year. But this time, at age 78, it may stick, even for the car guy who has operated at the industry's highest levels since the early 1970s.
