So here's a deep one...
When summarizing, I cleaned the rotor and cap on the distributor (2005, 5.7l Indmar assault 325). I noticed that the distributor shaft is pretty corroded where the rotor presses on to it. I mean...really corroded. So, I spend several hours Googling for replacement shafts. No luck.
So, next I start Googling for the whole distributor. That's where things got interesting. The marine EST distributor looks identical to the car "vortec" model. I absolutely can't tell the difference looking at the pics. The car distributor can be found for $69, while the marine is $300.
Anybody know what the difference is?? If there is some difference in the cap or such, can I just swap the car shaft into the old distributor?
