    Default '87 351 Ford parts equivalent?

    I'm wondering if the Ford 351 parts are equivalent to some, if not many, of the parts on the 351 Pleasurecraft Marine (mine is model number PL0WR110)? I need to get points, condensor, rotor, and distributor cap for it. Oh, what Ford is it equivalent to? Back in my motor-head days, there was a 351 Cleveland and a 351 Windsor. Is the 351 in my boat a knock-off of either? If so, which? I believe the Cleveland had the 8 bolt valve covers....which was an easy way to ID them.

    BTW, I went to start it on Sunday, and it doesn't seem to be getting spark. I took the coil wire off, put a screwdriver in it, held it near ground, and still no spark. The engine cranks fine and seems to be getting fuel. Oh, just changed the oil...is there some kind of safety that prevents it from firing until oil pressure builds?
