As most of you know I am not an advocate of using automotive parts on a marine engine. However after recent talk about HEI conversions it got me doing some research.
What I found is the automotive distributors sell far below 100.00 some as low as 40.00 as for the marine version more like 300-400. So I ask the question exactly what is the difference between automotive and marine distributors. This is almost impossible to find out, lots of info on fuel pumps,carbs,alts and starters but almost nothing about distributors. So besides vacuum advance and venting I see no difference between the two . If anyone has any facts about marinizing a automotive dist let me know.
