3.7 Mercruiser, Crank no start

I wonder how difficult it would be to snatch out that REAL old stuff and replace with TB5?

Not on a 470....

Whoops, responded to the wrong thread. Ignore me (as usual)

An 'ignition tune up' should be spark plugs, points, capacitor (only 19th century people call them condensers now), rotor and distributor cap... Then you set the plug gaps and points gap. Once the engine is running, check the points dwell (adjust if necessary), then set the timing, idle speed and idle fuel mixture..

Anything less is a half-fast job.

some of us are happy to be in the 19th century. our vehicles can run without computer chips from China

Yea I guess as they say, live and learn. I did a full tune up and took her to the lake for 4 days. Put over 40 miles on with never a problem! Thanks for all the input and help guys!
