Re: [OMC-Boats] Electronic Ignition

Bill,

Pertronix makes only one model for the odd fire v6, Igniter 1165. They're $70-$80.

I did mine about 5 years ago and it works great. It's nice to not worry about points. The only thing you have to be careful about is to make sure not to leave the ignition switch on too long without the engine running. It could burn out the module. They corrected that problem with the Igniter II but as far as I know, they don't make one for the odd fire V6.

Good luck with your project.

Well I'm having a good day!!? I've had my boat running this afternoon with the outdrive in a tub of water.? Good news is that the water is flowing.? Even better news is that I'm not seeing any foaming in the crankcase oil so all is looking good there.? It didn't take long for the water in the tub to turn a nice shade of grey with exhaust crud skimming?the surface but she's pumping water and that's alwasy good.? She's running a tad rich I believe, and is a bit stinky.? It prob had 2-3 gals of gas on the verge of going bad so earlier?I mixed in another 3-4 gals to thin it out.??

?

I want to convert over to electronic ignition to?minimize?maintenance.? Has anyone converted their V6 ignition over to a?Pertronix setup recently?? What version did you use?? Any suggestions?

?

Thanks.
