Mercury Outboard 4-cyl Distributor Ignition System - Complete & Sparking Strong! on 2040-parts.com

Genuine OEM Mercury parts pulled from a late 1970's Mercury 4-cyl 80 HP with distributor ignition. Same system will fit 1970 thru '79 4-cyl and 6-cyl Mercury outboards 65 HP and up; it won't fit a 50 HP and check with your mechanic to see if you can use it on a 3-banger.  Note distributor cap attaches with stainless-steel clamp band; distributors '69 and down had caps that screwed to the distributor housing. If you have that system, check w/ your mechanic or reliable data source for interchange. The coil and powerpack would be the same, though. Motor has bad primary compression in bottom cylinder so it's being parted; the ignition components are in above-average condition for used parts of this vintage. It throws a hot spark and the wiring leads have good intact insulation that isn't brittle which is rare for an older Merc. You'd pay almost this much for a PICKUP UNIT for these motors; check around the board. You probably will need replacement spark plug leads but I'll include the ones I have; they're delivering voltage to the plugs. Check my FB and bid with confidence. Please Ask-a-Question if you have any, well, questions about this item; I'm here to help you get your vintage outboard up&running for cheap dough. Thanks for looking.
