I saw a thread on here a while back where someone mentioned he had converted an old Merc 6 cylinder to a newer style electronic ignition, but I can't seem to find that thread now.
I'm in the process of bringing a 1963 850e back to life, and I've never dealt with points before. Besides that, the replacement parts seem kind of expensive (when available).
I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried to convert one of these engines over to a pertronic type ignition, or perhaps a later Mercury ignition, and what the process was like.
Any information or leads appreciated.
