Well, after all the top end work, the engine is getting pulled as I discovered only half of the problem was fixed with the 78 nautique 351. Getting bored, honed... the works,. Thought this is a good time to upgrade distributors, but finding ones specifically labeled as rev rotation is difficult and unbelievably expensive. Am I correct in that you can just replace the gear to convert a std rotation to RH? |

Performance Distributors. They have D.U.I. (Davis Unified Ignition). The part number for a reverse-rotation distributor for a SBF 351 is M35820RRRD (the last 2 letters "RD" means a red distributor cap). This is an HEI style distributor, so no external coil is needed. Not cheap. https://performancedistributors.com/product/marine-dui-distributors/ JQ ------------- Current 2003 Ski Nautique 206 Limited Previous 2001 Ski Nautique Open Bow 1994 Ski Nautique Open Bow Aqua skiing, ergo sum |

| What's in it now, points or a electronic conversion? |

It's an old Prestolite with a e-kit from pertronix that is no longer in production. |

If it works I wouldn't mess with it, if it doesn't, I would get a new E-kit for it. I would not spend the money on a HEI for it that's for sure.
