photos 1970 60hp points conversion to timer base & sensor & a few other conversions .

1970 60hp Evinrude points conversions to:timer base & sensor fitted using original crankshaft : Electroshift to Manual using the original intake manifold : From short-leg to 20inch leg using original exhaust & exhaust adapt-or : A wiring harness has been fitted & the solenoid was fitted in the original place where the factory has made the casting for it to be fitted , but due to the gear linkage interference , the solenoid was fitted on top of the exhaust box, this enables for another solenoid to be fitted & wired up as a safety should one fail out on the water :This model did not come out with a **** hole . After stripping a 70hp exhaust box i found that corrosion had eaten a big hole in the exhaust box , thus causing water to **** out through the exhaust & yet the **** hole was pissing water , so i had no idea i was loosing water , on this discovery , i decided to fit a **** hole on to this motor , & fitted another **** hole on the discharge , now I have 2 **** holes on this motor : 1 **** hole tells me the impeller is pumping water , & the other **** hole tells me water is circulating through the motor & not loosing it through the exhaust : A air box in front of carburetors was also fitted , all the parts were taken off a 1977 70hp . the points conversion is a tricky one as the timing had to be worked out , it works very well & goes even better, cheers

This is very neat, especially since I've worked on a '70 60hp, and absolutely hated the ignition system more than any other OMC I'd seen.
I don't fully understand the shifting conversion, however. Is it now hydromechanical instead of hydroelectric? I really haven't had any problems with the hydroelectric and actually find it to be a smooth working system, other than it being a huge PITA to change out a water pump impeller, and that it has all that wiring and switchery to go out-----on second thought, I can see why you changed it! :)
Anyway, nice job and I enjoyed the pics.

I haven't seen anyone do this particular conversion on the ignition. There are a few that have used aftermarket CDI modules that still took the signal from the existing points.
