I searched around, but what spark plugs are you using since going to the DUI?

I will have to check. I don't remember off-hand. I will get back here and reply with that. It has been quite a while, and I will say that this change was fan-dam-tastic. No more hiccups, super quick starts. ZERO ISSUES.

Autolite 764 or 104 plugs. 0.055 gap with the DUI.

Since this is your first post, nobody knows whether your engine has the standard heads or gt40 heads. So..........the bestest, most correctest answer is to use the same plugs that are in it now because there were different plugs depending on the heads used

I just did this conversion on my 92 ski
Same boat as JPAss Everything installed easy and my distributor is positioned just like the photos TDC has been checked twice. Wires installed properly. Only issue is motor and starter are turning but no fire to plug wires Checked power to the HEI and it’s moves between 11 and 12 volts when cranking Checked my grounds seem okay Haven’t run new the power and ground wires to dash yet DEI said it sounded like the unit needed to be grounded and offered a suggestion on how to test it It didn’t change anything Any suggestions ? |

Where are you checking power to the distributor? At the (+) terminal on the cap
Is the tach terminal hooked to the boat's gray tach wire? Nothing else hooked to the tach terminal Silly question, but is the 3 wire plug from the distributor plugged into the cap firmly? All 4 connections on the ignition module under the cap connected?

Just hold the wires together put your foot in a bucket of water and crank it. Let me know if you feel anything.
