I assume you used a marine distributor? That shouldnt affect how it runs, but an automotive unit would be a safety hazard. I agree with Bradley950, check the simple things first- start with the firing order.

Have you cheaked the timing? Did you pull the dist.? Is the firing order right? Just some questions so we can figure this out.

When you say dosen't run good what do you mean? Are you talking about using the convertion kit, what kit?

I have a barefoot with a 454, ecm just recently quit, replaced with a distributor and coil, but engine still doesn't run good. Nautique sells a conversion kit to do same, has anyone ever used it?
