Your particular engine would have come with a Prestolite electronic distributor.with a screwdown cap.
PCM part numbers are Cap RA108003 Rotor R103004 Here's a link to one place, you can find the parts on the linked page You'll spend about 40 bucks before shipping link Or you could go here link One place is a little more expensive than the other  Or you could use the PCM part numbers to find other companies replacements or hunt around on EBAY |

Still Cantankerous to start...Once warm it runs fine...I am one of those people that has to have everything running and looking great or I cant rest! I don't think it has been changed in 19 years so figured I would get the parts together for the spring tune up!
I am sure the plugs are original too...my cousin who has a 1998 says he has never changed any of those items since he bought it new... What say you about changing the plugs, cap, and rotor just for good measure? I am getting 45.7 MPH at 4400 Rpm Wide open with the Acme 422 prop so I think it is running pretty good...what say you? |

How is the base timing at idle? My old MC was a bear to start but otherwise ran OK. The "light" advance spring was broken and that weight was always hanging out!
Additionally may want to bypass the electric choke. |
