Thanks everyone. That's the impeller number I thought but could not be sure. Oil is holding in the gearcase. Gears engage properly and turn with no grinding. Ill put an impeller in and see what happens.
Problem solved! The top wire off the coil should have been connected to the top of the metal surrounding the coils. Good strong spark. I think I will invest in an impeller and give her a run. Anyone know the part number? Googling this engine doe not give me confidence in getting the right part.
I had purchased this engine from craigslist for $75. At this price it was as is. I brought it home and check the compression, spark, etc. I have no spark but am at a stand. I decided to check the gearbox while I ponder the spark issue. I found no impeller in the water pump. Welds around...
Here are some pics. One of the ignition setup. The two others are the reading from the spark plug wire to each of the two red wires on the back side of the coil. It appears to me that the points themselves are grounded to the plate, which is grounded to the fuel pump by a wire.

I tested from the spark plug wire to each small wire. Both read 7kOhm. I don't see anywhere to connect wires other than the points. Does anyone have a picture of what I should be seeing?
It is a 1971.
Points were filed and cleaned. Could not find points googling the part number. They appear to have been out of production for quite a while.
My main question is about coil wiring. There are two small wires and the spark plug wire on each coil. Both the small wires are...
New member, but I have been finding the iboats forum in every search result for outboard questions, so I decided to join.
I recently acquired a 20hp (202hc) Chrysler. looks clean with good compression. Closer inspection I found the top of the head has pry marks where the flywheel was removed...
