I have a '55' Century Coranado with a 331 hemi. The boat has started every time this season with the exception of two. I replaced plugs set air fuel on 600 cfm holly with dwell meter. Dual point gap .017 ea. I run 93 oct with 110 leaded for 97-98 oct. She started very hard the other day cranked several times then finnaly fired with choke on and half throttle. The boat has been recently rewired and never stranded its previous owner in 25 years of use. The previous owner did state he thought it needed a voltage regulator due to lack of charging. Woulk this cause hard starts and missfire at mid to top end? She doesnt even want to fire with a huf of starting fluid. Leads me to believe weak spark. Any ideas? Any one know pertronix part no for ald prestolite dual points? Thanks Rob
