2002 Mercruiser 4.3L/LH - My original 2-wire ignition sensor (# CU101501 cherry) measured no resistance. I bought what was supposedly the correct replacement (3-Wire). It is too large to fit inside the distributor.... As most suppliers don't allow returns on electrical components, I wonder if anyone here has been where i am now = stumpedIMG_0985.jpg

Thank You for your reply,... However, The 3-wire sensor I bought that was supposed to supercede the original is too large to fit in my distributor...

The kits I all used walked thru the install. I bought off of Crowley and BAM
