    97 mercruiser 5.7 timing marks 180 degrees out for motor to run

    Agree with above and will add, that when the marks are both at 12 o'clock the rotor would point to number 6 which is 180 degrees out. The cam rotates once for every two rotations of the crank.

    Which tach for my old Johnson 60 hp?

    You need to figure out how many poles is on your alternator, From what I'm finding as a non-expert it appears to be 10 or 12 poles. You use this to set the switch on the back of the tach. Also look to see if it is for a Johnson outboard such as this one
