    Mercruiser 4.3 LX not firing

    Did you read the link Rick left in post 8? Yes, but so could every other part in the ignition system. If you test then it can be narrowed down, otherwise buying and throwing parts at the problem may fix it, but may also add more problems

    Can i swap harnesses chrysler 85 to force 85

    If your asking can you change the harness from one to another it is yes with a caveat, so long as the ignition system goes with the harness. If donor motor harness is points ignition, then points goes with harness If donor motor harness is electronic ignition then Elect Ign goes with harness

    95 Mercruiser 4.3 water in oil

    Could still do a compression test with intake off. Make a couple block off plates for the intake ports and pressure test the block thru the drain plug. See if it holds air, and if it does might be worth a try to reinstall the intake and run it
