1960 40hp Johnson motor controls question

[Mr. Tate60]

Will I need to use a motor control box which has separate throttle and gear selector levers, or can I purchase on which is combined into one lever?<br /><br />sorry, I don't have the serial # at my side right now.

You can use pretty well any control you like. The only thing that's important is to have cables with OMC ends on them.

Right now, there are a few two-handle classic OMC controls on eBay...with cables. A guy might want to have a look there, I'd think.
