At first we thought we had a loose wire, but now we think the carb needs a

So; we have a few options, rebuild ourself, have someone rebuild, or buy a
new/rebuilt carb.

That got me thinking -- years ago; I had a mustang and put in "throttle body"
fuel injection which worked nicely & improved response & millage.

Does anyone know of a kit that work in a marine environment?

Also; the points were just replaced last year and already show serious pitting
signs -- has anyone done this:

For the price of all the components -- and never having to adjust dwell & points
again; it doesn't sound that bad -- except for getting the old distributor out
w/o moving the engine....


Holley makes a TBI marine unit.

For the distributor, just get a Pertronix breakerless kit - under $100.00.
