I'm now wondering if this model will work?

If so I will order it today.


That could work with some additional work.

It has the wrong gear for your 351W. The 351C/460 use a bigger diameter gear.

You can't swap your present gear on to the MSD because the shaft sizes are different.

Yours now on the Pro Tec assembly is .531 inches and the MSD is .500.

You could find a gear(.500 ,cast iron, normal rotation) and a coil also to go with the distributor.

I'd probably get on the phone and call places including DUI to find out about availability, since if you look at the same distributor M35820 with different color caps, the dates all seem to be different and you might find something in stock or shipping real soon at one of these places

I think Jonny Quest and his constant, glowing recommendations for the RED cap version have created a shortage Wink

Or go with the Mallory kit from SkiDim, Nautiqueparts etc. Your mechanic friend shouldn't have any problems and if he does, you can ask here

If you haven't already red the thread in the link below, then read it.............it might scare you or it might answer lots of questions.

Thanks again!
Well I decided to go for it and will order the parts needed. This will of course take some time. I will most probably need support from the nice people on this forum and I'm sure when everything is done I will be very happy with my Nautique.

Keep you posted as time moves on.

Can someone confirm if I purchased the correct DUI Distributor. . 

I purchased FORD 351 DUI Marine Distributor RH (right hand rotation)

Item # DUI-M35820-RRBK  from SKIDM , So I just checked as discussed earlier in this thread it's a LH, so my bad, ordered the wrong part. I hope I can cancel my order at SKIDM,

I really feel dumb...

OK, I'll confirm it...........you got the wrong one Wink

They for some strange reason only list a reverse rotation DUI distributor for a 351w on their website

I'd ask SkiDim if they have a normal rotation gear that they could put on for you and maybe you'll get pleasantly surprised.

Or, if your mechanic is comfortable with a gear swap and getting the gear placement correct for the Ford distributor you could order a 351W cast iron gear and he could install it. 

Or reuse your present gear which should be the right shaft size and material, but it'll probably need to have the hole for the pin redrilled to fit correctly at the right height.

But............if the gear is not at the right height, you could turn your camshaft and distributor gear into junk with a lot of metal shavings in the oil of your engine

The best solution is finding one with a normal rotation gear already on it, for warranty purposes if you were to have an issue with the new distributor.

And it's quite a bit cheaper to buy one with the normal rotation gear on it Wink

If you decide to go the new gear route, do plenty of research about proper installation, it's easy to screw things up.

Thanks for the info. I will contact SkiDim and see if we can find a solution .

Updated June 20th, Well Keno you were right. After notifying SKIDIM that I had ordered the wrong ROTATION Distributor , I pleasantly received an E-mail from them on a Saturday (when they.re officially closed) and said they will correct my order, no problem.

So very happy about this.

Smile
Updated June 22nd. Just wanted to mention SKIDIM (Keren) are OUTSTANDING. Corrected my order and should be arriving next week. What's amazing is that when she corrected my order the LH is less expensive and mentioned it to me when she called me today. Blew my mind. There still are honest business owners out there and SKIDIM is one of them.

Received my DUI LH rotation today. Also received new sparkplugs and wire set. Thank you Karen from SKIDIM for changing.

So I now have the DUI, Fuel Line, Spark Plugs, wire set. Just waiting for the QuickFuel carburator which should arrive by early August from Summit Racing.

I will sure need some guidance on installation when doing the install.

Appreciated!

The D.U.I. and QuickFuel combination is not cheap...but the results are worth every penny!

Hello Everyone,

Well installed the DUI and new QuickFuel Carburator and the engine just sounds fantastic. The only issue I had was that the cooling hose from the thermostat housing was too close to the new DUI distributor as the hose had swollen at the ends over time and it was also wire enforced therefore I couldn't get the proper timing. So as a solution I installed a high temp hi pressure silicon hose.

Can't believe the difference when starting and all. Thank you for all of your input which made the install easy.

Thanks,
Hudson
