1986 5.7 Alpha - need help with serial ID

[rheine]

Hi all,
I am new to this forum ( but not to iBoats) just hauling home a beautiful barn fine 86 Glastron CV23 with an engine stored for 15 years. I am having basic serial number challenges. This is what I was able to locate
5.7 Alpha One with Thunderbolt Ignition.
Engine A659060
Drive 0A599617

These don't appear to match up to the larger serial numbers in parts catalogs.

I need the distributor cap, rotor, points, etc. to start. The cap has the male studs.

The ignition system on this engine model should be electronic not points. http://www.mercruiserparts.com/Show...=70&bdesc=DISTRIBUTOR+AND+IGNITION+COMPONENTS
