OMC 4.3L Cobra (1989) Shift cable replacement & ignition upgrade

[Carsten]

So I am ready to jump in to 2 projects on my OMC 4.3L Cobra (1989):

Ignition upgrade
I have bought:

• Pertronix Ignitor 1563
• Flame Thrower Coil 40511
• CDI/Rapair OMC shift assist module 123-9898

Replace and adjust a (new) shift cable
I have bought:

• New Shift Cable Assembly 18-2245-1
• Outdrive mounting gasket set
• Engine Alignment tool

I have the "real" OMC Cobra service manual and Hastings documentation

I welcome ANY TIPS, TRICKS OR GENERAL ADVICE!

I have never done such projects before

Thank you in advance
