Recently purchased a '96 Celebrity Fire Star with engine code 50FIPNCSCE - 316 hours. I was randomly looking over parts list for it and noticed a lot of core parts are out of production (starter, alternator, distributor, etc). Maybe there are plenty of aftermarket ones out there and just not OEM.

Should I be concerned about finding parts should something happen or am I being a bit too worried? Appreciate the input.

the outdrive.....no problem

the ford fuel injection and ignition bits are NLA

starters, alternators, etc. are easy to get

if the EFI takes a dump, you may have to switch to carb
