Re: "Need help" finding right Ignition Module

no prob. it is a thunderbolt 4 ignition. one supplier gave me the part # 80536T4 but that one is a distrb mount. i will look at the T6

I found one on Ebay listing number 400042030477. take a look at it and see if that is it.

Re: "Need help" finding right Ignition Module

just looked at the T 6 it allso is a dist mount. can it be mounted on the plate on riser? they look just like mine except without the baseplate mine is riveted to. if it would work i'd bolt it to my plate, but not sure. ive heard most are close and would work but the curve may be diff. does it matter that much?

Re: "Need help" finding right Ignition Module

Hmmm on the ebay listing it says riser mount. I trust those guys I have bought many parts from them. On the listing it has a phone number for them also.

Re: "Need help" finding right Ignition Module

Keep in mind that Mercruiser just loves to superceed their part numbers. When you ask for a part number using your merc. serial number, always ask if the part number superceeds.
