Just post some pictures of your boat, cause we're all hooked on pictures here

marine distributors do not use a vaccum advance mechanism like a car does. Also there are special screens that go in the vents so that if fuel vapors gets under the cap and ignites the screens prevent the flame from exiting the inside of the distributor. Also most have a conformal coating to prevent corrosion.
Also most older CC's use a reverse rotation engine that requires a different gear on the distributor that you will not find on a automotive versions. |

Doc, I think I remember reading here that you can run a 351C/460 dizzy on the 351w if you change the drive gear. Is that what youre saying? Theres a good chance his '91 is a LH, btw.
Bart, you'll want to be sure to use a marine distributor regardless of which route you take. |

Right dizzy but wrong motor....
You have a 351 W, I would suggest a Mallory Uni-Lite or E-Spark for a 351w normal rotation, aka car motor, remove the drive gear from the dizzy you have now and simply replace it. Same dizzy just different drive gears.................Boat dr |
