    Mercruiser 3.0 Distributor posotion and Timing

    This engine ran good 3 years ago, and before last winterizing, had new points, condensor, spark plugs, wires, and new coil put on. This year I cannot get spark. There are 2 wires that I would like to verify WHERE to put them. The first is a black wire that mounts and drops form the side of the...
